With quarantine restrictions eased (yet again) in the Greater Manila Area, those who are feeling cooped up at home can finally dine out – literally, as in al fresco. Or, as this Italian scooter brand would suggest, why not go catch a breath of fresh air with a good old fashioned picnic?
Armed with cool, subdued colors and a touch of rustic glamour, the new Vespa Pic Nic was born from a creative idea that matches the lifestyle of those looking for a momentary respite from the locked down mood of the urban jungle. This version of the iconic Italian scooter comes in three colors: the elegant White Innocenza, the fresh Green Relax and the gentle Grey Materia.
One look is enough to see that the Vespa Pic Nic is created with features that evoke the vibe of a relaxing picnic day. The signature belt in beige adds a touch of rustic chic elegance to the livery of the scooter. The front rack, as well as the rear rack (standard equipment on Vespa Pic Nic), each possesses a brown strap that’s as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing.
There’s also the unique saddle designed only for the Vespa Pic Nic, which comes in different shades of brown. The small Italian flag positioned on the saddle strap is a further reminder of the origin of this wonderful bike, whose body, as per Vespa’s signature, is completely made of steel.
While arguably cute, the Vespa Pic Nic is no softy. It is driven by modern one-cylinder four-stroke 125 and 150 cc iGet engines, air-cooled and equipped with electronic injection and three-valve distribution. Each detail from the exhaust to the inner structure of the transmission casing was designed to provide a smooth, quiet and comfortable ride. The control unit contains a barometric sensor, which ensures optimum combustion under all conditions and at all altitudes. That makes the Vespa Pic Nic perfect for both city and out of town road trips.
Riders can even upgrade their experiences with the Vespa merchandise inspired by Vespa Pic Nic. The picnic blanket, enriched by the embossed Vespa Pic Nic logo, and the special rattan basket (with fixing kit which allows basket to located firmly on the rear rack) with leather details create the vintage vibe of a classic stylish picnic. The picnic kit is completed by the white cooling bag (inside the basket) where food and drinks can be stored once the journey outdoor begins. There’s a even a special branded Fedora hat, Vespa tumblers and other items to complete that chic picnic ensemble.
