A legend returns The Vespa Primavera For more than 50 years, Vespa has transported generation after generation of young people on its iconic vehicles.

More space between handlebars and saddle as well as the new saddle height for improved contact with the ground, guarantee even greater comfort for both rider and passenger.

5 A legend returns The Vespa Primavera For more than 50 years, Vespa has transported generation after generation of young people on its iconic vehicles. Today the legend returns and it has a completely new and futuristic look. The distinguishing change is the new body, with a host of new features and even better in quality. More space between handlebars and saddle as well as the new saddle height for improved contact with the ground, guarantee even greater comfort for both rider and passenger. Its weight combined with its ergonomic advantages, and 11" wheels wrapped in tubeless tires make Vespa Primavera perfect for moving about through city traffic. LED daytime running lights and rear lamp, new digital instruments, including a trip computer, an enlarged helmet compartment under the seat bench together with the displays of the newest technology complete the premium equipment of this modern scooter. The novel front suspension with the shock damper hinged to the base reduces vibration considerably. The newly constructed wheel suspension has a positive influence on the rolling characteristics and increases the riding comfort measurably. At its heart sits the modern single-cylinder 125cc air cooled 4-stroke 3 V engine, with catalytic converter and electronic fuel injection for improved fuel consumption and reduced emissions. The unit delivers a maximum power of 11 Horsepower (7,9 kw) at 7,70 rpm. All this power is kept under control by an automatic Twist and Go transmission with self-acting dry centrifugal clutch. This engine can send you to a maximum speed of 91 km/h.
