Vespa Urban Club

Thursday, 14 November 2024 10:25 AM Piaggio India has launched the Vespa Urban Club 125, the most affordable Vespa scooter in India, priced at Rs 72,190 (ex-showroom, Pune). The scooter is available in four color options: Maze Grey, Azzurro Provenza, Glossy Yellow, and Glossy Red. It features a 125cc air-cooled engine producing 9.5 bhp and 9.9 Nm of torque. I think this is a great move to make Vespa more accessible to a wider audience.

Friday, 15 November 2024 12:31 AM The Vespa Urban Club 125 comes equipped with black alloy wheels, drum brakes at both ends, and a Combined Braking System (CBS) for enhanced safety. The scooter also includes glossy black mirrors, grab rail, and brake levers for a stylish appeal. The engine is the same as the one used in the SXL, VXL, and Elegante models.

Thursday, 14 November 2024 11:38 PM Piaggio Indias CEO and MD, Diego Graffi, expressed delight in launching the Vespa Urban Club, highlighting its blend of elegance and modern trends backed by cutting-edge technology. He believes the scooter will enhance the style quotient of riders and be well-received by Vespa fans.

Sunday, 10 November 2024 09:54 AM The Vespa Urban Club 125 features a monocoque chassis and a suspension setup that includes a bottom-link type front and rear monoshock. It has a 150mm front drum brake and a 140mm rear drum brake, but it lacks tubeless tyres and front disc brakes. I believe these omissions are a trade-off for its competitive pricing.
