Are you talking about a 1950’s Vespa or a 2026 Vespa? A modern 300cc four stroke Vespa will use 3.3 litres of fuel per 100km and Euro 5 means noise is quiet.

As far as things go, modern scooters are great, practical, economical vehicles.
- TheChaplain 3mo agoEuro5 also means >90% less exhaust fumes compared to Euro1 which was introduced 1999 iirc. The difference between a 1950 and 2026 Vespa must be huge.
- wiether 3mo agoEven the new ones are awfully loud. But, yeah, they don't smell like the old ones thankfully
- guenthert 3mo ago> A modern 300cc four stroke Vespa will use 3.3 litres of fuel per 100km Uh, I know motorcycle engines aren't particularly fuel-efficient (it's not a priority), but there seems to be, er, room for improvement.
- PunchyHamster 3mo agoyou can get some 125cc motorcycle/scooter and run on half that

- synecdoche 3mo agoA 2026 Honda SH150 uses 2.2 l / 100 km (up to about 70 km/h) and is very quiet. Made in Italy too.
- tiew9Vii 3mo agoScooters main priority have been cheap practicality. Fuel efficiency is part of the “cheap” part. Yamaha’s blue core engine used in its mid sized 300cc scooters can do 2.8L per 100km. It’s 125 engines can do 1.8L per 100km. They’re incredibly efficient little vehicles So far electric scooters can only compete in inner city with the equivalent power of a small 125 and limited range/speed due to size/weight constraints
- xnx 3mo agoGreat to know. It seems like most of the ones in notice in the are an older vintage and/or poorly maintained.
