PurposeBuilt for short urban hops, commuting, and running errands rather than covering long distances or carrying heavy loads.
Rider FitVery approachable for smaller or less experienced riders due to its low seat height, light weight, and easy reach to the ground.
CharacterA stylish, classic-looking city scooter that prioritizes charm and everyday practicality over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting highway touring, high speeds, two-up long trips, or any kind of off-road capability.

2017 Vespa Sprint 150 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Vespa Sprint 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.
