What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I was driving my 2018 Vespa 300 and I came to a stop sign. At this point the brake lever would not operate causing the scooter not to stop and to go into the intersection when other cars were crossing.A very dangerous occurrence. The brake lever is stuck in the open position and cannot be depressed.
What to check before buying
- Forward collision avoidance. Radar and camera: calibration after bumper or windshield replacement.
- Service brakes. Pedal feel, ABS operation, leaks, discs and hoses.
