Protect a Vespa

You can store your Vespa inside for ultimate protection or, if you need to keep the Vespa outside, you can use a Vespa cover. Vespa covers come in a variety of shapes, materials and sizes and are available in various colors and designs.

Steps

  1. Search online for a Vespa cover.
    • Use an Internet search engine, such as Google or Bing, to find a cover for your Vespa.
  2. Vespa makes its own covers, which are available on the company's website, but other companies produce generic scooter protection covers that will fit various sizes. Look at a good selection of the vehicle covers on the market before you decide on the one you want.
  3. Make sure the product you buy protects the Vespa from rain or direct sunlight and that it will fit your model. Also, make sure the material it is made of is durable and strong.
  4. Order the cover.
    • Most of the covers available can be ordered online. The process should be simple and most orders can be prioritized, so they arrive within 3-5 days.
    • Make a note of the date the order is due to be delivered so you know when to expect it.
  5. Fit the cover.
    • Find a spacious, dry area to fit the cover over your Vespa.
    • Follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer before you start the process.
  6. Keep your Vespa in the garage.
    • If you have a garage, create some space for your Vespa and keep it inside away from the elements that could damage your vehicle.
    • Keep the Vespa in a well ventilated space, that is free of storage and clutter, so you can easily drive it in and out of the garage.
  7. Regularly maintain your Vespa.
    • A good maintenance schedule will keep your Vespa in good working order.

Tips

  • Read the consumer product reviews that are often available online before purchasing a scooter protection cover.
  • Even if your Vespa is stored indoors, using a cover will help protect the finish from any unwanted dust or dirt. It will keep the paint fresh and provide protection from damage, scrapes or chips.
  • Maintain the condition of your Vespa by keeping it covered whenever it is not in use.

Warnings

  • Some Vespa covers are labeled "regular" and "large." Double check that the cover you purchase is a good fit for your Vespa. The regular-sized cover is only for LX, S, LXV models. You will need the "large" size if you have a GTS or GTV model Vespa.
