Vespa Other models

The register lists 3 versions here with single-cylinder engines of 218 cm³ displacement, a kerb weight of 466 kg, a gross vehicle weight of 999 kg and widths of 1,350 to 1,470 mm.

With a single-cylinder engine, a kerb weight under 500 kg and a gross vehicle weight just under a tonne, the Vespacar counts among the three-wheeled micro-commercials that were common in tight town centres and for short delivery runs across southern Europe, where the scooter-derived narrow track and turning circle paid off in dense old-town streets and market squares.

When buying used, on a vehicle of this type check corrosion on the light sheet-metal body, the condition of the single-cylinder two-stroke engine and clutch, the function of brakes and electrics, the seal of the cab against weather, and parts supply, which runs through authorised Piaggio workshops and businesses specialising in scooters.

As a three-wheeled vehicle, the Vespacar legally falls not under the four-wheeled EU class N1 but under category L5e, set aside for mopeds and motor tricycles, which directly affects the licence category required, different from that for an ordinary panel van.
