Rider Profile

Best For	Suitable for riders of any experience level, including newer riders, thanks to the automatic CVT transmission and manageable power delivery.
Purpose	Built primarily as an urban commuter that also has enough punch and stability for occasional longer rides or highway stretches.
Rider Fit	Low seat height, light weight, and automatic transmission make it accessible and easy to manage for most body sizes, including shorter riders.
Character	A refined, premium city scooter that blends classic Vespa styling with modern performance, offering peppy acceleration and confident handling in traffic.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking serious highway touring range, off-road capability, or genuine sport-bike performance.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Vespa GTS Super 300, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
