A new urban staple that combines tradition and innovation
Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint, iconic scooters from Italy that continue to be loved around the world, have evolved further in Europe with the 2026 model year. Both models have been redefined as a new generation of urban scooters that combine the latest technology and design improvements while maintaining their historic elegance. They achieve a high level of balance between the three pillars of city riding comfort, safety performance, and style, setting a new standard for urban mobility.
Fusion of style and performance | Vespa Primavera evolves
As its name suggests, the Primavera is a model that has always maintained a fresh and light feel. The history of the original model dates back to 1968, and since then it has continued to run in cities around the world as a “timeless design.”
The current generation is available in a variety of engine displacements, from 50cc to 150cc, and is equipped with the latest Euro5+ compliant i-GET engine, achieving both environmental friendliness and riding performance. The Primavera’s design retains its classic streamlined form while incorporating details that improve usability and visibility, such as modern full LED lights and analog-digital hybrid instruments. The option of advanced equipment such as a USB port and the smartphone connectivity function “Vespa MIA” makes it a good fit for modern users.
In terms of riding performance, the 150cc single-cylinder engine combines smooth torque characteristics with ease of handling, enabling stress-free riding even in stop-and-go urban traffic. In addition, the stable braking performance provided by the single-channel ABS brakes and high-rigidity frame are important factors in enhancing everyday safety.
Sporty personality | The appeal of the Vespa Sprint
The Sprint, on the other hand, is a model based on the Primavera that emphasizes a more aggressive and sporty character. Its distinctive square headlights, large 12-inch wheels, and sporty exterior parts create a more dynamic style. The Sprint’s sportiness is not only reflected in its appearance, but also in its precise handling and agile acceleration, making it suitable for users who require quick maneuverability in urban traffic.
The Sprint’s performance is supported by its lightweight steel body and high rigidity, which gives it excellent cornering stability and responsiveness from low speeds. This allows for smooth riding even in crowded city streets and winding roads. Furthermore, the Sprint also benefits from the i-GET engine, and its wide lineup of 50cc to 150cc models meets a variety of needs.
Comfort and advanced technology | Equipment for comfortable urban driving
Both models are equipped with the latest technologies, including a smart key system, digital linkage functions, and app linkage. Keyless operation with the smart key enhances everyday convenience, while smartphone linkage with the Vespa MIA makes it possible to make calls, play music, and use navigation functions, enhancing the convenience of urban life.
Furthermore, both models feature engines designed to be quieter and more durable, as well as comfortable suspension and a smooth seating position to reduce fatigue even on long rides. These elements embody Vespa’s philosophy of a “scooter as a lifestyle,” going beyond mere transportation.
The future with tradition | Vespa’s urban mobility revolution
While the Primavera and Sprint each have their own distinct character, they share a common goal: urban freedom and everyday comfort. They retain their historic design while incorporating technology and equipment suited to modern urban environments, giving them a timeless appeal.
