The original Vespa Primavera made its debut at the Milan Motorcycle Show before hitting the market in 1968. The Primavera quickly making its mark in scooter history and culture.
From the University of California to the streets of Paris, youngsters became self-aware and claimed that their place in a society was dramatically changing. That year every social structure was smashed, and a revolution began that affected technology, architecture, design, culture and the arts with music providing a powerful soundtrack.
The Vespa Primavera made its first appearance in this tumult of ideas and fervor, becoming the star by making two wheels and an engine available to the changing world: it became the heroine of an unforgettable season.
The Vespa Primavera 50th Anniversary celebrates this recognition by combining the style that made the first Primavera such a success and expressing them with all of Vespa’s latest technology.

A Bike Finder and the seat remote control are standard on 150cc models.
