Okay, guys, let’s talk about my Vespa 300. I got this scooter a while back, and one of the things I’ve been curious about is its weight. You know, how heavy is this thing really?
So, I started digging around. I rummaged through some forums and articles online. It turns out, there’s a bunch of numbers floating around. Some folks say it’s around 300 pounds, others claim it’s closer to 400. It’s kind of a mess, right?
I decided to get to the bottom of it myself. First, I checked the owner’s manual. It’s a bit vague, to be honest. It talks about the weight capacity, which is how much weight the scooter can carry, including the rider, passenger, and any extra stuff. That’s helpful, but it doesn’t tell me the actual weight of the scooter itself.
Then, I found some info on different websites. Some of them listed the weight as 158 kilograms, which is roughly 348 pounds. That seemed more specific. But then I saw other sites saying different things. One even mentioned that the Vespa’s weight can vary between 200 to 400 pounds depending on the model and year. Geez, talk about confusing!
I even stumbled upon information about the seat height, which is 790 mm. That’s cool and all, but not what I was looking for right now.
So, here’s what I figured out. The Vespa GTS 300, which is the one I have, likely weighs around 348 pounds. This is what most sources seem to agree on. It’s not super light, but it’s also not ridiculously heavy.
- I checked the owner’s manual.
- I searched online forums and articles.
- I compared information from different websites.
- I focused on the Vespa GTS 300 model.
My Conclusion
Based on my little investigation, I’m pretty sure my Vespa 300 tips the scales at around 348 pounds. It’s good to know, especially when you’re moving it around or parking it.
It is what it is, I guess. Hope this helps someone. I will share it next time.
