Modern Vespa

I've been riding my SO's LX150ie a bit lately. It has the smaller 10"/11"wheels. I really like my GTS with the 12" wheels and wish the LX had them.

What year did the Primavera get the 12" wheels? Thinking it may be time to upgrade.

I think the Sprint was released with them and the Primavera followed the next year.

Definitely Sprint first then Primavera but I don't remember which year either.

My 2019 Primavera has 12 inch wheels. IIRC the salesman told me that was the first year for the Prima.

Pretty sure 2018 was last year of 11" wheels in the USA,
my 2018 Primavera had 11" wheels, a bit more twitchy in a good way than my 2015 Sprint that has 12" wheels, both handle very well, similar but different.

Correct. Primavera: 2013 till 2018 11' and starting with MY2019 (Summer 2018) 12'.

In MY2019 also changed:
LED lights (front/rear)
Bikefinder (only 125/150cc)
New tie / cascade

There were special models of the Primavera with 12' rims (50° Anniversario) from 2017.

The Sprint had 12' rims as standard from 2014 to emphasize the sporty look.

Correct on the 2019 model Primavera. 12" wheels.

Perfect. Thanks. If I don't buy a new one, 2019 will be my starting point.

Probably better tire selection for 12" wheels,
though 11" City Grips are currently available

Any good sources for City Grips? I have been having a hard time locating vendors with both front and rear for my 2019 Primavera 150.

I haven't had to buy any tires yet but Scooterwest seems to have what you are looking for

I see why so many people like these tires.
My 2018 GTS came with the first version City Grips, they are very good all around tires.

I'm looking forward to putting a set of City Grip 2s on the 2015 Sprint 150, it still has it's original Sava tires 😱

They are highly recommended on this forum for sure. My 2019 came OEM with Mitas tires. At 3,600 the rear is a bologna skin…
