Various Vespa related gifts can be yours (or someone else’s) here!
This wonderful green scooter is Natasha’s favorite way to get around.
The 2023 Vespa GTS is here! In this video we walk through the bells and whistles. Come get one – you’ll love it.
I completely forgot to mention there is now a low tire pressure sensor on the scooter and an icon that appears on the dash when you’re low. Nice to see that addition.
Also a correction: the MIA system is only available stock on the Super Sport and Supertech. It is NOT on the base model or Super but is an accessory that can be added later if wanted.
This video walks through the settings menus on the Vespa Primavera Sport or Sprint Sport. We do not cover how to pair a phone or headset in this video – that will be separate.
SENA bluetooth communicators are a game changer when riding for audible directions, and entertainment like listening to some tunes, a podcast, an audiobook, or even taking a call. This video shows how to install the base speakers of a SENA. It’s basically the same on every SENA despite some small design changes that occur between the model range. The hardest part is finagling the wires around and getting the speakers set in the right spot.
