Do you ever go for a day out on your scooter and feel disapointed that you’ve had to keep your lunch in your rucksack or standard topbox? Then the new Vespa Primavera Pic Nic special edition might be just what you dream about. Previously introduced in 2021 in specific markets including New Zealand and Australia, presumably this year everyone can transport their sandwiches in style.
The actual base Primevera gets a few tweaks, with a two-tone saddle combining the beige seat and a dark brown rear stripe, light grey piping, and a belt featuring the Italian flag. You also get some extra chrome edging on the panels, and the wheel rims are grey with diamond edges. And there’s a plate on the leg shield to demonstrate it’s a Pic Nic, along with chrome front and rear luggage racks and a brown leather luggage belt for the front.
But as you might have gathered from the name and images, the Pic Nic is designed for picnics. So along with the strange word separation for the name, owners also get an ‘elegant picnic basket made of wood intertwined with rattan that contains a conveient removable cooler bag and the must-have blanket’. Both basket and blanket feature the Vespa Pic Nic logo, and the fabric is a water-resistant jacquard so you can sit on damp ground without getting a soggy bottom.
And that’s it for the Vespa Primavera Pic Nic special edition. The wheels do look good in the grey and diamond combination, but the main selling points appear to be a blanket, wooden basket and the seat. I can imagine it possibly appealing to those to like to spend a weekend sampling a selection of meat and cheese watching a polo match or people punting down the river, and then nipping through the queue of Astons and Rolls Royces, but I think I’d leave the accessories at home and just enjoy the extra utility of the luggage racks.
There’s no price announced for the Pic Nic model yet, but the current Primavera range in the UK including the 50cc Euro 5 at £3,550, the 125cc Euro 5 at £4,000 and the 125cc Touring Euro 5 at £4,250. The new special edition will be available in either Verde or Grigio colours, and you can find out more via your nearest dealer.
