Vespa Motorsport’s 12th Annual Scooter Toy Run Sunday December 8th🎄

By November 20, 2019Comments Off on Vespa Motorsport’s 12th Annual Scooter Toy Run Sunday December 8th🎄
Meet at 8:30 am Sunday December 8th at Vespa Motorsport

Vespa Motorsport along with the Vespa Club of San Diego will be hosting our 12th Annual Scooter Toy Run on Sunday, December 8th.  We’ll meet at Vespa Motorsport at 8:30 am for WAFFLES and RAFFLE then scoot in one massive group to the San Diego Center for Children for their Wacky Wonky Wonderland.  This feel-good event has been gaining momentum each and every year and The Center for Children is really making it extra special this year by adding more Live Music, Photo Booths, and Holiday Crafting activities.

To participate, please bring at least one unwrapped toy, see the center’s wish list for gift suggestions and approved toys. Vespa Motorsport will also have an official San Diego Center for Children Donation Station set-up at our shop for anyone who may like to bring by some toys to drop off beforehand. Please stop by anytime between now and December 8th.

Keeping with the traditional itinerary, Perry and the San Diego Scooter Squadron will be serving up his world-famous waffles and other breakfast goodies.  The suggested donation for all the waffles you can eat is $5.  Perry donates his time and culinary prowess, Vespa Motorsport buys the supplies, and the Center gets ALL the proceeds!

After everyone is done scarfing down their waffles we will have the RAFFLE! One free ticket for each toy you bring; additional tickets will also be available for $1 donation.  ALL proceeds go to the Center.

Lots of awesome prizes donated by our favorite vendors: Torc Helmets, Western Powersports, Scorpion Helmets, Parts Unlimited, Brian Jones, Kriega, and more.. 
Must be present to win.

The ride will leave right after the raffle and arrive at the Center around 11:30 am.  Rain or Shine; we’ll be enjoying a ride through “America’s Finest Scootering City.”

Founded in 1887, the San Diego Center for Children is the oldest non-profit organization in the city.  It’s a live-in treatment center for children, ages 6-18, that provides educational services, support, and guidance for these less than fortunate youths.  The gifts we deliver and time we spend at the center bring an immeasurable amount of joy to these kids. For more info on the Center click here.

The Vespa Elettrica is available NOW!

By May 14, 2019No Comments

We have one Elettrica in stock NOW (May 13th 2019) and are taking pre-orders for more.

Mobility in general, and electric mobility in particular, will never be the same again.
The Vespa Elettrica is a contemporary icon of Italian technology in the world, a synonym for advanced connectivity and silence, personalisation and accessibility, respect for the environment and style. These values have always characterized the Vespa and are fully implemented again today in the Vespa Elettrica, confirming Vespa as a pioneering brand on its market.
With a power unit delivering top power of 4 kW, the Vespa Elettrica, assisted by the dynamic performance typical of electric engines, outshines a traditional 50cc scooter, particularly in regards to acceleration and hill starts.

It guarantees easy, agile and enjoyable riding on city roads, even at the very low speeds of congested urban traffic, with the added benefits of absolute silence and absence of vibrations, helping to make cities less chaotic and more livable by avoiding both air and acoustic pollution.

The Vespa Elettrica has a maximum range of 65 miles, a value that changes little between urban and extra-urban environments thanks to the scooter’s modern lithium ion battery and efficient kinetic energy recovery system, which recharges the battery during deceleration. To recharge the battery the rider simply plugs the cable located in the compartment below the saddle into a normal electric wall socket or into one of the recharging points that are becoming a common sight in today’s cities. A complete recharge normally takes 4 hours.

We have ONE in stock NOW and it will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.  MSRP is $7,499.00 (plus taxes and dealer fees)

  • Integrated thumb switch designed for easy setting without removing your hands from the handlebar.
  • 5 Color LED Indicators for the rider to quickly know in which heat level the grips are set.
