Vespa Primavera 150 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Primavera 150 is genuinely lovely to ride around town — that three-valve engine pulls smoothly, the automatic transmission is utterly fuss-free, and it looks absolutely timeless. Vespa's build quality is legitimately better than most Asian scoots, and that matters when you're buying used. The bodywork holds up, the chrome ages gracefully, and parts availability is decent through dealers. Just budget for maintenance — Vespa wants you at an authorized shop, and they charge accordingly. Buying used, inspect the undercarriage carefully. These things get dropped at parking lots constantly by newer riders, and cracked plastic gets expensive fast. Check the rear shock — it gets wallowy when worn. The 150cc engine is peppy enough for city use but genuinely struggles above 65mph sustained, so manage your expectations if you're eyeing any highway commuting. ABS on newer models is worth hunting for specifically.
