Rider Education PDF Print E-mail

Whether you're just starting out on your first Vespa or if you've been riding for years, your riding knowledge and skills are extremely important. We recommend a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) RiderCourse to improve your knowledge and enjoyment of riding. In most states, the MSF RiderCourse qualifies graduates for lower insurance premiums. To sign up for a Motorcycle Safety Foundation RiderCourse or to request information, please call 1-800-446-9227 or visit their website at msf-usa.org. Ask if you can take the course on a Vespa or Piaggio motorscooter.

The MSF also offers a Scooter School curriculum specializing in scooter training. The Scooter School is being rolled out to various sites around the country. Visit msf-usa.org for more information, or download a brochure here: Scooter School Brochure

And an important part of rider education is learning to ride smart. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Always operate your vehicle at a safe and legal speed. Always ride cautiously within your abilities. Be alert to your surroundings and ride defensively. Do not ride off road and respect the rights of others. Review your owner's manual thoroughly before riding your new vehicle and examine your vehicle before each ride. Vespa and Piaggio motor vehicles are recommended for riders 16 years of age and older.

How are scooters eco-friendly?
You can breathe easy: Vespa scooters comply with CARB (California Air Resources Board) standards ... the most stringent environmental regulations in the country regarding noise and exhaust emissions. Vespa strives to minimize how their production affects the environment. New automated painting systems apply non-toxic, water-based paints and a modern liquid and gaseous waste treatment plant substantially reduces the factory's environmental impact. Vespas consume less fossil fuel therefore saving on wasteful gas consumption. In short, if Americans were to utilize one of the latest eco-friendly motor scooters available in the market, they would, on average, reduce their fuel consumption by 58% and carbon dioxide emissions by 80%. So do your part and make "The Green Choice."
