Yo dawg, Vespa heard you like Vespas so they’re putting some gold rims on your Vespa so you can shine while you ride.
In case you’re unfamiliar with that turn of phrase, I’m referencing Pimp My Ride, where rapper Xzibit took someone’s beat-up car and installed a stripper pole, an ATM, and a swimming pool, and then gave it back.
The theme song summed it up: “So you wanna be a player, but your wheels ain’t fly / You gotta hit us up, to get a pimp’t out ride.”
The show also generated some priceless memes, like this one:
I’m assuming you’ve all either seen Harry Potter by now, or don’t care enough about it to be offended by that spoiler.
Much like Pimp My Ride, no matter what your taste, Vespa’s range is so diverse that you’ll find something for everyone. Unlike Pimp My Ride, there’s nothing tacky about a Vespa, and the brand is synonymous with style and beautiful design.
Now they’re adding one more set of graphics to their 2020 range that is sure to turn some heads.
Over to RideApart for the latest addition to the Vespa stable:
Vespa Racing Sixties graphics will be available on Vespa Sprint and GTS models, so you can pick your 50, 150, or 300cc steed with ease.
You can choose from yellow graphics on matte green, or red graphics on what looks like a somewhat matte white, in keeping with the graphics package theme.
Both come with gold metallic wheel rims. You also get several matte black accents with either graphic: passenger grab handle and footrests, exhaust cover, front and rear light setting, side mirrors, all around the instrument cluster, and finishing (or starting, depending on your POV) with the crest on the front mudguard.
There’s also a brand new seat that’s covered in nubuck, but then coated with PVC to protect it from the weather. It also features “artisan-style stitching” according to Piaggio, to help realize that ‘60s European sportscar aesthetic. Badge? Of course you get a special badge.
These beauties aren’t the only new Vespas to be hitting the market next year.
If saving the planet is more your thing, you’ll also be happy to know that the company has merged old-school classic style with new technology to bring you an electric scooter, the Vespa Elettrica 70km/h model, that pushes the performance of the existing electric Vespa to a new level.
That’s all coming your way in 2020, but you don’t have to wait until then to pimp your transport game.
As I said at the start, there’s a Vespa for everyone.
