New Delhi: Italian scooter maker Piaggio Group has revealed the 2026 versions of its Vespa Primavera and Vespa Sprint S for global markets. While maintaining its familiar retro look, the scooter now comes up with a few practical updates, aimed at improving safety and everyday usability rather than performance.
The overall design and engines remain largely the same, but the company has added some new features to make city riding easier. From braking to connectivity, the updates are meant to serve a smoother and more convenient experience for daily commuters.
Braking and feature updates
2026 Vespa Primavera
One of the biggest changes is in braking. The rear drum brake has been replaced with a 220 mm steel disc brake with a twin-piston calliper on the 125 cc and 150 cc versions. This works alongside the front disc and ABS, which should improve stopping in traffic conditions.
Another key addition is keyless ignition. All models above 50 cc now get this feature, allowing riders to start the scooter, open the seat, and even locate the vehicle using a remote fob. The scooters also get new 12-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, which are expected to offer better stability along with a fresh look.

Engine options remain unchanged. Buyers can still choose between 50 cc, 125 cc, and 150 cc petrol engines with fuel injection. There are also electric versions with a top speed of 45 km/h and removable batteries. A higher-spec electric variant is also available for those looking for better performance.
Design and display changes

On the design side, the Sprint S gets a sportier look with a redesigned front grille. The Primavera, on the other hand, gets small styling tweaks like a refined mudguard and a slimmer front element.

The scooters now feature an updated digital display. Most variants get a full LCD screen, while higher trims continue with a 5-inch TFT display that supports smartphone connectivity through the Vespa MIA system. New colour options have also been added.
These updated models are expected to go on sale in international markets soon. There is no confirmation yet about their launch in India.
