The Elegante 150 is a special edition scooter from Piaggio. The company has provided this special edition version for the SXL and VXL 150 models. In Elegante, Vespa has undergone various cosmetic changes to make the scooter appealing and attractive to the prospective buyers.
The Elegante is made to look and feel premium and luxurious in its style and making. For luring the Indian customers, Vespa has also introduced some exclusive accessories like the colour coordinated open-face helmet which is specially made for the Elegante and is available through the official online store and as well as Piaggio offline stores across the country.
One of the major additions to this special edition Italian scooter are the exclusive fitments like tinted fly screen, specially made twin leather finished seat and an exclusive Elegante badging.
Design
What makes the Elegante different from others is seen in the design department, the Elegante 150 is the luxurious member of the Vespa family. The specially tinted fly screen, stylish and comfortable twin leather finished seat and an exclusive "Elegante" badge reflects this premium design and making. The tinted fly screen is the first thing that everyone notices when looking at the Elegante.
What makes the Vespa Elegante special is the new front fascia which is complemented by round headlamps and chrome stylized mirrors. This also makes this scooter distinguishable from other Vespa scooters.
Comfortable Split-Seat
The Elegante has a redesigned split seat that gives supreme comfort for the rider and the pillion. The premium chrome saddle is designed with a chrome touch up and adds to the look and feel of this scooter. The seat is made of extra cushions to make the rider as well as the pillion comfortable while riding through traffic and highways.
The pillion seat comes with a key lock that opens up to a spacious under seat storage. The under seat storage could hold a helmet, small college books, shopping bags and other essentials securely.
