Just when you thought you’ve seen it all at Amerivespa.
Another one back on the road soon!
Check this out! New scooters!!! The coral one is a 50cc not a 150. The titanium 300 makes me drool.

COME AND GET 'EM! These are really beautiful, you have to see the 70th Anniversary Vespas in Person.
This is a Euro light conversion done by Vespa Pensacola. The Sprint and Primavera both come with little added on plastic turn signals, compliments of Uncle Sam's safety standards. In this case, the added on plastic turn signals make the scooter less visible. So this upgrade tales away those placid turn signals and changes the main tail light into a running light AND a brake light. The turn signals are now housed in the Vespa body. AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ARE LED! If you'd like this done to your Vespa, give us a call.
Hey, this is Jami, one of the page moderators. I ride my Vespas year-round. You can too! Remember: THERE IS NO BAD RIDING WEATHER ONLY BAD CLOTHING!
When I first got into scooting, I was definitely a “fair weather” scooterist. However, since my daughter got her driver’s license a year and a half ago, and I was faced with the choice of driving her to school everyday, buying her a car or riding my scooter to work. That was a no-brainer! I scoot, therefore I am.
I’ve learned a few things that make everyday commuter riding – in MOST weather — doable. I thought I’d share some things that work for my 20 minute each-way commute, and maybe I can convince all you fair weather riders to try it. Keep in mind that these are suggestions for commuter riding...not long trip riding. There’s a whole ‘nother set of “to-do’s” for that!
Before you do ANY riding, make sure that your scooter is in good operating order all around, especially the tires! Change them according to the recommendation by the manufacturer — even if they “Look” just fine.
Another thing: Gear up. Helmet/Jacket...you know the drill.
Know your route well. Know where the roads tend to puddle on the side and avoid those spots.
Each day before you “saddle up” check the weather forecast! It seems like kind of a brainless thing to do, but some folks don’t. I generally use National Weather Service, Accuweather or Wunderground online. Accuweather and Wunderground both have hourly weather forecasts. Take into consideration not only the ride TO your destination, but the ride HOME!
My cardinal rule: I WILL RIDE IN COLD AND I WILL RIDE IN WET, BUT NOT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME!

WET WEATHER:
BODY: Most any rain suit is good, however I have an Eddie Bauer RipPac Rain jacket and RipPac pants. They fold up into two small bundles, which is great for keeping in your scooter seat. I keep mine with me all year long. Eddie Bauer RipPacs are not cheap, howeve
Stop in and see why we are the Pensacola area's #1 choice for new and used scooters for almost 40 years. We also service almost any scooter — modern or vintage.
