Hello,

I am looking at buying a 2001 ET4 150.

I had a 2-stroke in the 60's for a short while, then a Honda 160, followed by a Triumph 650 motrocycle.

Looking to return to scootering.

Any guidance to share before buying the 2001 ET4 150 scooter?

Thank you,

Leo

Hi Leo , I like the et4 because it is pretty easy to work on . Because they are quite an old model now , I would check the bodywork underneath for signs of corrosion as this is not an easy fix if there are any holes .

It depends also on what you plan to use the Vespa for.
If you plan to travel along larger roads and maybe even sometimes a bit of motorway, maybe you will experience the 150 as a bit too low in power.
