Hi,
Today I tried to start my vespa for the first time after winter.
Battery is fully charged, but when I try to start it, it does this weird sound and the light starts flashing.

Does anybody know what is wrong?

Tnaks for your reply,
I think that the battery just needed a bit of discharge or something, because I charged it once more after I was done trying to start it this morning. Then I put it back in the vespa again fully charged and it started right up.

Have you talked to her Softly? Did you burn some incense around it? I heard that garlic works well too.

monitor that battery because its on its last legs. daily riding of at least 20 miles will do it good.

I would replace the battery. I had a suspect battery in mine and almost got stranded 20 miles from home.
