50s are a lot better than they get credit for. They’re plenty fast for city traffic and most roads with a 35 or under limit. Also, in Colorado, 50cc (technically up to 49cc) only requires a drivers license, insurance and registration is $6 for three years. A guy in my building has been riding an unregistered 150 sprint for years.. sure it looks like a 50 but I’ve still been pulled over for not having the registration sticker.. no plates for 50s, just a little sticker. That 150 should have motorcycle plates and technically requires an endorsement as well.
That's my next scooter. The 50's are very popular n my state. Insurance is low, and only $24 to register with no property taxes. Worth checking ur states laws. 50's r fun in some areas. Would give anything for fuel injection. Getting tired of starting it up and running it just to keep the carb clean.
In my town you need to be able to go 50 to use the primary surface streets between the different housing nabor hoods and the only option is a bicycle because of bicycle lanes, scooter not leagal in bicycle lanes. You can ride close to the bicycle lane but not in it. this puts you very close to cars in the slow lane. It is much better to be able to go 50.

55mph is generally the comfortable cruising speed of the 150. If you need to hop on the freeway for a couple exits, it is possible to push the scooter to it's max, but not for long periods of time.
Ah ok, in Australia we get every model available and there isn’t any information out there about the differences between these similar engine sizes.. I’ve been really enjoying your channel in anticipation of my getting my first Vespa!
Yeah, and to get one you have to attend like 4 assessments and a two day course, L plate (first year of license) cannot ride engines larger than 660cc / a certain power to weight ratio..
File this under "eventually." Might be the case with four-wheelers now (if you have the bucks…Tesla Model 3 Performance that a friend has is admittedly sweet). Meanwhile, my GTS is holding its own nicely…and sipping very little gas in the process.
I'm undecided about electric. Still see room for improvement n battery life. Even the new has a limited battery life. Not impressed with the handling. I'll stick with my LX for a while.
David Collins I’m still all for gas bikes.. at $5/week for gas, its not a big concern to me. Even my rebel 250 gets 70mpg. Same as my 70cc scooter. They’re also super easy to work on.. i love basic carbureted bikes. I cant stand the over computerization of newer vehicles.
@@jseden Yeah! all of the high-tech is lost on me. I can spare $5 a week. Plus I don't have a local dealer that sells electric bikes. They're going to need maintenance sooner or later. I know how to work on my gas bike.
David Collins yep. Electrical issues are the last thing I wanna deal with.. an ebike is nothing but. Add in the computer and the potential proprietary connections to talk to it and I'm out. Not to mention the cost of replacing the battery if you wanna use it long term. That's something people don't usually consider when comparing operating costs. There's also the cost of the thing. I don't have 5k+ to spend on one. My rebel was 1400 and I know I'll be able to get close to 100k out of it. Hell my scooter (Chinese) was less than 600 after my mods and upgrades and I've gotten thousands of reliable miles out of it. Maybe some day theyll get there.. I mean, eventually they'll probably be the only choice but the way things are going with the overcomplication, I won't be happy about it.

Ride your scooter often. Carb problems solved 🍒
No problem
This video is really good and clean. Thank you 👍🏽

Same reason why we don't sell many here in San Diego.
Hi Robot. I have a Vespa primavera 50 Touring 2021. The scooter stalls on stop signs and red lights after about 30 sec. can you help out?

Hi Robot. Why do you say the 150 speed is 55 mph scooter, but on the test drive you said the scooter topped out at about 70 mph?
55mph is generally the comfortable cruising speed of the 150. If you need to hop on the freeway for a couple exits, it is possible to push the scooter to it's max, but not for long periods of time.
@@VespaMotorsport Does Vespa build a scooter that has a cruising speed of 65 that can be used on the highway for an extended time Robot?
@@georgestreeter3992 Vespa GTS 250 and GTS 300
@@35dd thanks. I bought a GTS 300.
@@georgestreeter3992 Yeah i just wanted to reply, enjoy your Bike and drive safe!
Is it possible to upgrade 50cc to 150cc motor? Or there are differences between frame and it is impossible to swap.
This video has some info for you: ruclips.net/video/-lj8WTg-smo/видео.html
@@VespaMotorsport oh nice! I have sprint iget 50 4t3v 2019 and i'm thinking about swap to 150 iget in future (2022). Atm 50 is enough for me.
Is it a plastic basketball or metal?
Monocoque metal frame with some plastic trim.
What’s the difference between the 125cc & 150cc?
The 125cc is not available in the US market, so were not really able to get our hands on one to make the comparison.
In some other countries, Portugal for example a 125 only requires a regular drivers license,, not an M1.

@@sebbyseb20 Do you need a motorcycle license to ride a 50? Just curious
Yeah, and to get one you have to attend like 4 assessments and a two day course, L plate (first year of license) cannot ride engines larger than 660cc / a certain power to weight ratio..
how much per litter milage 50 cc
80.9 mpg or 2.5 l/100km
I got a 50cc because if I was going higher I like bikes better (like a grom/z125). But thats just me.

electric scooters will be taking the lunch money from gas scooters soon and for much less $$
