Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders of any experience level, including newcomers, thanks to its simple mechanicals and manageable performance, though the manual-shift twist-grip gearbox rewards a bit of familiarity.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a stylish, classic urban commuter for short hops around town rather than for speed or long-distance travel.
Rider FitIts low seat height and light weight make it easy to handle at a stop, but the small 10-inch wheels and vintage suspension mean rougher roads are felt more directly by the rider.
CharacterA charming, old-school Italian scooter that prioritizes character, styling, and mechanical simplicity over outright performance or modern refinement.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting highway speeds, long-distance touring comfort, or any kind of off-road capability.

2017 Vespa PX 150 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Vespa PX 150, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
