Vespa Primavera 50 Walkthrough

[@gauge19021]

Super excited to buy my own! Didn’t even realize how cool it was on the website, thank you!

[@VespaPortland]

You’re welcome. Hope you enjoy it!

[@Designer_Opine]

Equal parts chill and comprehensive. 🍻

[@VespaPortland]

Way longer than I anticipated but I guess I get chatty when a beer gets cracked. Thanks for watching!

[@denniscurless904]

I ordered this exact scooter 2 weeks ago April 13 and we will wait and see how long it takes. No big expectations!

[@VespaPortland]

Fingers crossed it’s quick but be prepared for up to 3 months!

[@notbenh]

Great run through on a rad bike. Thanks for sharing!

[@VespaPortland]

Thanks for watching as always.

[@topcatvespa1972]

Great video, that Red edition primavera is sweet. I love the chrome trim on the wheels with the red spokes - got me checking my finances lol.

[@VespaPortland]

It’s a bold scooter! And it’s our last 50cc for a little while if you want to make the trip to Portland. 😉 Thanks for watching.

[@roywilliams5115]

Can you get a 125 red that looks like the 50 red

[@VespaPortland]

In the USA you can get a 150 in the same red or an Elettrica. No 125s are offered in the US but maybe in Europe.

[@peterryan7827]

I would love to ask about de restricting these bikes firstly you have convinced me this is the bike i want but would love to be able to get a little more speed if that is possible to do safeley without messing up your engine,i have seen there are kits out there to do this, but my worry is will the engine cope ok ,or are we shortening the life by doing this ,pete from the uk many thanks great video,.

[@VespaPortland]

Malossi makes a variator kit, CDI, top ends, and an exhaust which will all help to get some more power and speed out of the 50cc scooter. It’s not going to go 150cc fast but it will be a noticeable 20% increase through the power band. If that’s good enough, great, the engine will handle it fine. If it’s not, just get the 150cc - maybe it’s a 125cc in the UK. Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@peterryan7827]

@@VespaPortland thanks alot this realy hepls me out so cheers for that And the fact is i am nearly 75 ,but in good fir shape so i don,t need to be going 60 /70 amymore but did not want to be restricted to 28 mph or maybe 32 ,i was hoping for something around the 40 mph,and thas fine ,so do the dealers like you fit the modification from new or do you prefer to do the first 600 miles as standard,

[@VespaPortland]

Ideally you wait until the first service is over and then your local dealer should be able to handle it. In the UK you can probably have them source the parts from Scooter Center or SIP.

[@peterryan7827]

@@VespaPortland Thank you once again.

[@MrKMyL]

Cool video. I watched also your Sprint 50 clip & I gotta ask - Primavera have only some design changes, right? Overall Primavera 50 & Sprint 50 are the same machines, but just with different looks, right?

[@VespaPortland]

That’s correct. Just cosmetic differences. Thanks for watching.

[@mtrotter325]

For those interested about pricing in Dallas, Texas: I was a but surprised (bad planning) about the out the door price. My 2022 Touring 50 purchased in Jun'22 was $4,199... TT&L, other fees and delivery to my house ($180 because i had no other option) was about $6k.

[@VespaPortland]

Good info! Thanks for watching.

[@roamereasy9737]

Can't you ask a ride from your friend to drop you at scooter shop to pick the new Vespa up so as to save the delivery charge?

[@21cascadia]

Shorter riders have the option to lower their bike a little with a lowering link and I bet there’s shorter aftermarket seats out there too. Although, I’d recommend just getting some fabulous platform boots! No foot pedals to contend with on a modern scooter.

[@VespaPortland]

Unfortunately that lowering option is not available on the Primavera or Sprint 50 because there is no link between the shock and engine - it’s directly connected. You can see it in the engine shot of the video.. around 21:30. The seat doesn’t have much to shave either… we’ve sent a few people to upholstery places that didn’t have any good luck there. Platforms it is! The best option BY FAR. 😆

[@21cascadia]

@@VespaPortland Oh, dang! I just assumed they were the same as the 150cc models.

[@VespaPortland]

It’s too bad they aren’t, at least for the shorties!

[@razeltv4106]

@@VespaPortland hello! This is what I wanted a 50cc Vespa.But,I know it's not available here in Taiwan.I like this red vespa primavera.So light and easy to maneuver.I got the LX_FL 125cc.For a shorter girl like me sit shaved done.still a little bit too high for me.Does my LX have a fuel pump issue? Still waiting for my dealer reply.Thank you for this wonderful video

[@VespaPortland]

@@razeltv4106 Thanks for watching. I’d love to ride a scooter in Taiwan someday.

well presented and quality information.

Thank you!

Wicked revie, thx a lot! The beer 🍺 is the best

[@VespaPortland]

Haha thanks for watching. Maybe I’ll slam beers in a video someday (probably not).

[@edwardfenyesgyorgy265]

wooow... just wow :) I loved this whole video, you are such a great presenter, I wish I could live in the States :D I am sitting here in front of my iMac, here we have 1:46 am in the night and I am writing this comment in Budapest, from Hungary :))) Being a European I love US and I wish I could have the chance to go to US and visit you guys :)) I have a "Energy Blue" Primavera 50cc (49cc) 4T just picked up from the dealer like 3 days ago and super happy with it... again I loved your video, guys cheers and greetings from Budapest, Hungary :) You are also always welcome to Budapest whenever you come :) Edward

Thanks for watching! I’d love to ride scooters over there someday.

[@davidtaylor9972]

Great informative video!! Thank you

[@VespaPortland]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@__-vk2gk]

awesome video! very detailed and cool : )

[@VespaPortland]

Hey thanks for watching! Hope you got some useful info out of it.

[@annashealthylifeeverything8583]

thank you for this review. I wonder why on your website vespa primavera 50 is 4.1 HP but on their website in EU it's only 3 HP?

[@VespaPortland]

The EU models must be regulated or something. Our Manufacturer Certificate of Origin shows the 4 HP value. Thanks for watching.

[@avilsoleiman1303]

Do you need a motorcycle license if you are going to driver it in California?

[@VespaPortland]

Hi! Yeah, California requires a full motorcycle endorsement for every two wheeled vehicle even if it’s a 50cc. Sorry! Might as well just bump to a 150 if that’s the case because it’ll give you more options on the road. Thanks for watching.

[@kellyg4977]

Best recommendation.. “go get an ice cream”. Done ✅ 😉

[@VespaPortland]

It’s a good answer for anything! Thanks for watching.

[@grahammcculloch67]

Good review. 👍🏼

[@VespaPortland]

Thanks for watching!

[@tomkendzie8655]

My son just started riding his Primavera after storing it for winter, we checked the oil, but what about coolant? Is there any way to check coolant on a Primavera?

[@VespaPortland]

No coolant to worry about on the Primavera. It’s a forced air cooled scooter. Thanks for watching.

[@lucianogallicchio8957]

i bought a Vespa Primavera 125s.... there's no scooter that can match the made in italy quality. it's superb. once you get a Vespa others scooters seems like toys.

[@VespaPortland]

Agreed.

[@enrikacreates]

Do all of the Vespa's come with Bluetooth capability? I can't seem to figure it out how to pair with the mode btn via instructions. So I wondered if mine 150cc 2022 primavera (non-tech dashboard) was even capable of pairing. Any insights about this would be great. ✨

[@VespaPortland]

They are not. Just the Sport models with the TFT dashboard. Thanks for watching!

[@enrikacreates]

@@VespaPortland Thanks so much for the quick reply. 🙏🏾

[@rameez328]

whats the difference between sprint 50 and primavera 50

[@VespaPortland]

Just the look of the scooter is different. The Primavera has round accents like the headlight and the mirrors in the sprint has trapezoidal accents and a few other very small differences in the trim pieces. Sprints are also offered in different colors than the Primavera usually. It’s the more sporty looking scooter. I think we have a sprint walk-through video too that you can check out. Other than that the bikes are exactly the same. If you were sitting on one wearing a blindfold, you wouldn’t know which one you were on. Thanks for watching!

[@charkswitlazers]

Beer is great, but I’m more of a cigar kind of guy. Hehe 😉🍑

[@VespaPortland]

Hahaha! I bet you are, Willy! Unfortunately too many flammable materials laying around the shop for that kinda thing!

[@miktrix.6962]

Could please show the start up

[@VespaPortland]

I’ll try to remember in a future video. It’s a pretty quiet scooter though. It won’t sound impressive.

[@xINVISIGOTHx]

omg the usb charger might be the tipping point of whether i get this or not XD

[@VespaPortland]

It’s wonderful to have.

[@xINVISIGOTHx]

@@VespaPortland I'm trying to watch every video about 2022 primavera 50, is there only 1 kind that goes 30mph, or are there 2 kinds? A 30mph with limiting and a 45mph?

[@VespaPortland]

There’s a limited speed version that tops out around 28mph. Depending on your state that could mean you don’t need a special license. But we recommend the one that is capable of higher speed if you have enough time and road to get there. Take care!

[@f.scott.fitzbeagle]

How heavy can the rider be?

[@VespaPortland]

Up to about 350lbs is probably the cap. Adjust the shock!

[@f.scott.fitzbeagle]

@@VespaPortland That's quite a haul for 50 cc.

[@VespaPortland]

Yes it is! It’s not gonna be fast but the vehicle should be able to handle it based on the roughly 750lb GWVR.

[@robertmercer469]

In texas u need car drivers license to drive a 50cc anything above 50cc u need motorcycle license

[@VespaPortland]

Same here in Oregon, and north of us in Washington. Thanks for watching.

[@pawezmudzki5055]

Just as the fun fact - in Poland we can ride up to 125 cc (limited to 15hp) if you have your car driving licence longer than 3 years

[@MotoTvWoodsFarm]

👍👍👍👍👍👍115

[@VespaPortland]

👍

[@232rock]

30 mph to slow for that price

[@VespaPortland]

Different needs for different people. If you never leave the inner city or just want to cruise around your neighborhood streets it’s more than enough. Thanks for watching.

[@MotoTvWoodsFarm]

it works in congested cities and small local back road.

[@ACCESSxDENIED]

Can you upgrade a 50cc to go 50mph?

[@VespaPortland]

You can get a little more out of the scooter by adding a bunch of aftermarket Malossi parts - see Vespa Motorsport/Scooterwest’s channel for a video on that. But ultimately if you want more speed you should get a faster bike. A 150 is ideal.

[@mtrotter325]

I'm 6'1" 240+ lbs. I ride my Primavera Touring 50cc easily at 35mph, have gone 40-48mph on slight down hills.
