Riding a Vespa (scooter) in toronto?

Question

Im thinking of buying a vespa, how fast do they go and for riding in Toronto in the winter time is that plausible? Any oppinions from riders and non riders alike are appreciated.

Answer 1

They are expensive and  yes people ride all year round. you would need some  electric cold  weather gear, a windshield. the front of the scooter offers a wind break. and parking inside is important

Answer 2

vespas are really expensive arond 6000

you could get cheaper one from BMS motors and if you wanted to go onto the freeway you would need a 250 or higher and a motorcycle license

but if your just traveling around the city you would ay least want a 150 and you dont need a motorcycle lincense for hat

Answer 3

get a cruiser since you are looking for speed....

Answer 4

It really depends on what size vespa you get... their 50cc models have a top speed between 35 and 40mph, the 150cc's have a top speed of around 55-60mph and the 250cc's get around 70mph.

Answer 5

if you're looking for speed.... you're looking at the wrong type of bike....
