Pakistan is all set to see the return of the iconic and classic Vespa scooter. As per the news, Ravi company will unveil the evergreen Vespa scooter at the Pakistan Auto Show, Expo Lahore.
The Vespa once held a special reputation among Pakistan’s middle-class, since it was regarded as the most economical and sturdy two-wheeler out there.
Ravi will be launching the Vespa Primavera this week on 2nd March in Lahore. Without further ado, let’s take a look at what the scooter has to offer.
Vespa Primavera
The Vespa Primavera will be available in both 125cc or 150cc Euro-4 engine variants, a change that makes this version miles ahead of what we once saw on Pakistani roads 30 years ago.
If we talk about the exterior design, Vespa’s scooters have somewhat remained the same since the first model came out around 70 years ago. However, its internals have gotten a modern makeover for the 21st century.

Both versions of Primavera are slated to come with a mileage of 44.2 km per liter. Primavera 150cc hits a top speed of 95 km/h while the 125cc can reach up to 91 km/h.
Both scooters feature a maximum fuel tank capacity of 8 liters. The dimensions of both variants are the same as well.
Here is how both of them measure:
- Length: 1860 mm
- Height (Seat): 780 mm
- Width: 735 mm
- Pitch: 1340 mm
Both scooters have the following features:
- Electric self-start button.
- Electronic fuel injection system.
- CVT, Automatic Gearbox.
- Hydraulic shock absorber.
- Adjustable coil spring.
- 11-inch tubeless alloy wheels and
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with disk brakes.
Price
Reports state that the Vespa Primavera (150cc version) may cost as much as Rs 330,000. The price tag seems hefty considering the alternatives here.
Nonetheless, we hope that the makers of this scooter are banking on more than just nostalgia to make Vespa a household name in Pakistan again.
Pakistanis think that scooters are only for women so that’s one problem for Vespa. They will have to change that backward culture.
As for the price I don’t think its so bad considering the features they have put in it. EFI, self starter and disk brakes. Most motorcycle engines here are carbureter based.
Agree, males also ride these scooters all around the world. I would definitely get one
But the price is too high. 3.3 lac is overkill for a scooter.
Still cheaper than UK price
is it 33 thousands or 3 lack and 30 thousand??
lol, its 3 lack and 30 thousands, not worth it in Pakistani market.
yeah, you get an electric car soon in this price soon. besides almost every one who drove vespa in in 60s and 70s slipped particularly on wet roads. so why go for a
two wheeler in this price
I would love to have one but the prices are too much for a scooter company need to revisit the prices …
Removing the following features will definitely reduce the price up to 100K :D
Electric self-start button.
Electronic fuel injection system.
CVT, Automatic Gearbox.
Hydraulic shock absorber.
Adjustable coil spring.
11-inch tubeless alloy wheels and
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with disk brakes.
