Vespa S 150

The Vespa S 150 has a top speed of 95 km/h, produces 10.3 hp and weighs 118 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.

La Vespa S 150 a été présentée par Piaggio en 2007 en tant que scooter moderne de style rétro inspiré de la série classique Vespa GT des années 1960, alliant esthétique vintage et ingénierie contemporaine. Il a été conçu pour plaire aux navetteurs urbains qui recherchaient le look emblématique de la Vespa associé à une fiabilité moderne et à une économie de carburant. Le modèle s'est distingué par son style sportif et anguleux qui le distinguait des lignes plus rondes GTS et LX tout en partageant les mêmes caractéristiques mécaniques éprouvées.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

🔧

Strong Resale Value

Vespa scooters historically retain 60-70% of their value after 3 years, outperforming most Asian competitors. The S 150's classic styling keeps demand consistently high in the used market.

⚠️

Watch the Carb & Fuel System

The S 150's carbureted engine is prone to gumming if left sitting unused for extended periods. Always inspect the carburetor and fuel lines carefully on any used example.

🛡️

All-Steel Monocoque Body

Unlike plastic-bodied rivals, the Vespa S 150 features a full steel unibody construction that is more durable and rust-resistant when properly maintained. This also makes it significantly easier to repair after minor dents or scratches.

7.4/10

"Un superbe scooter urbain qui repousse les ambitions autoroutières."

La S 150 a l'air sensationnelle garée devant un café, et c'est vraiment la moitié de la proposition de valeur : les gens s'arrêtent et posent constamment des questions à ce sujet. En ville, c'est calme et inspire confiance, le châssis monocoque en acier absorbe les abus urbains et l'injection de carburant permet de démarrer à froid à chaque fois. Mais si vous le poussez sur une artère à 90 km/h, vous atteindrez tous les tours par minute de ces 7,5 ch alors que des camions vous dépassent. 95 km/h est un plafond théorique, ce n'est pas une croisière confortable. L'amortisseur arrière unique transmet également des chocs brusques directement à votre colonne vertébrale sur un asphalte urbain cassé, et l'entretien par le concessionnaire coûte plus cher que ce que le scooter ne garantit mécaniquement.

Pros

+Une esthétique rétro époustouflante, véritablement intemporelle
+Le châssis en acier robuste renforce la confiance
+Les clous d'injection de carburant démarrent à froid de manière fiable
+Ergonomie verticale confortable pour les heures de ville

Les inconvénients

Dangereusement sous-alimenté sur les routes rapides
Un seul choc frappe gravement les chaussées accidentées
Les coûts d'entretien des concessionnaires Vespa sont exorbitants
Idéal pour: Les navetteurs urbains valorisent le style au quotidien Ignorez si: Vous empruntez régulièrement des autoroutes rapides
2017–2023 Gen 2

Mise à jour pour répondre aux émissions Euro 4, cartographie du moteur affinée, freinage amélioré avec option ABS ajoutée sur certains marchés.

Urban commuters who value style over speed

"Style-forward city scooter that rewards diligent maintenance and punishes neglect."

$1,800-$3,500 used

The Vespa S 150 is one of those scooters that looks better than it rides, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. It's genuinely pretty — that retro-sport styling ages well — but don't expect sportbike performance from a 150cc single. What you get is smooth, predictable city transport that starts reliably and handles urban traffic with surprising confidence. The steel monocoque frame feels planted, and the front drum/rear drum setup on older models is adequate if uninspiring. Buying used, the CVT belt is your first concern — budget for replacement if the seller can't prove recent service. These Piaggio engines are bulletproof if maintained but punishing when neglected. Check for rust around the floorboard and under the seat compartment, classic weak points. Parts pricing will sting you; this isn't a Honda where everything's cheap and available everywhere. Find a dealer who knows Italian scooters before committing.
