Modern Vespa

cram question for all you

Trunk open. Wheels off... Maybe

wheels off, or at least front wheel off. pass seat all the way forward and it angled in and on its side, maybe?

Consider the dimensions...

Maximum Length 1800mm
Maximum Width 710mm
Maximum Height 1030mm

You could knock about 3" off the height by removing the wheels. Past that, grab a tape and start measuring.

Years ago i bought a Stella off of Copart auction. I drove over the the lot to pick it up. I saw a couple husky looking eastern europeans (ok, they were most likely russians) in the parking lot walking around. I asked them for help, and the both of them picked up the scooter and put it into the back of my dad's Prius. I'm not new to loading vintage scooters into small cars, so i came prepared. Sockets, funnel, #1 (or maybe it's a #2) phillips screwdriver, and a 1 gallon gas can was all i needed. I removed the Stella's fuel tank, poured the gas (using the funnel) into the gas can. I then poured all the gas into the prius fuel tank. I then plunge the phillips screwdriver into the end of the oil reservoir's oil line. Point being, a lammy should fit in a prius, even with the tires still mounted.

oh, and if you do it, be sure to take a photo. or draw a picture.

you can stuff a 63 Gilera 125SS cafe racer into the back seat of an 80 Buick Skylark if you are willing to rip the back seat out and rope the doors shut because they won't latch with a motorcycle jammed between them.

I know this isn't the same but I guess it proves anything is worth trying if you don't mind risking an unsafe load ticket.

Looks like it's about 2 inches longer than a s50 which I've crammed into a prius. Should be ok but well see tom

We are all awaiting the pics anxiously….

sounds like a hot Saturday night! two inches can make a world of difference...

Not a lammy, but I do know a complete Rally 180 will fit in a Mazda 3!



Maybe a bit disassembled, but it did fit! Fit a smallframe that ran outta gas into the truck of an 80's Thunderbird once....

Stuffing scooters into unconventional transport options is entertaining to say the least

The answer is yes. With the front wheel off and both seats pushed all the way up. If I took off the rear as well, I might have been able to get more play on the drivers side

Outstanding tetris action right there!!!!

Nice fit! That prius looks way bigger than my dad's prius.

What year is the prius ?
Later models are bigger.

So Prius gets bigger as it gets newer... VW Golf not so much, wife's '15 can't carry big stuff but my old '92 mk3 Golf is like a small truck. One time with passenger & back seats removed, we got TWO complete small frames(one partially disassembled) and two ppl completely inside for a two hour road trip.

Well done. When I bought my Vespas, I didn't think a P series would fit into my Subaru Forester. It probably would have. Good thing I took my bus. Fit 2 just by taking the mirrors off.

Here's my latest in my Mazda 3.

I keep waiting on SaFis to enter the thread. He's got some outstanding scooter tetris pictures.

This whole thread reminds me of the "How do you fit an elephant in a Mini?" joke.

Nicely done, BTW.

My back hurts looking at these pictures.

(Impressive work peeps.)

Great that you managed to fit it in!

Got a Faro Basso in a VW Passat once, was an easy fit.

Once put a small frame (not disassembled) in the back of a Ford Focus, that was a challenge...

unfortunately only have pics of the Passat

I love a good cram shot.

For clarification Mine is a 2014 Prius C.

I put a Lambretta in the back of a Honda Fit a while back so I knew it'd be possible, a 74 super and an s150 into the back of this Prius, but even after all of that, I never thought of actually removing the passenger seat before.

This will be the last one for a long time.

and i hauled my stella in a 2014 Prius V. I don't know what all the different between the two models are, but the V looks to have a lot less headroom (height) in the rear trunk area.

And here's a pic of my lil Scion xB with a 500lb-ish ktm 950 adventure stuffed in the back. Six screws to remove the windscreen fairing, then remove the front wheel and slide the forks out of the triple tree. It takes me about 6~7 minutes to do. There's still enough room to fit a 12v freezer in the back, for those times you go in a road trip with broken foot to buy more motos, yet you still need ice packs on the foot to keep the swelling down. I'm not saying i'm the king of cram, but i think i rank high up on the list.

You're throwing us a huge curve ball by removing the front end. Is the rear wheel on or off? Pretty efficient use of space I'll have to say. You still have room for more stuff in the last pic!😂

The rear wheel is still on. It is very similar to Tetris to fit in the back though. I'll start out by putting the bike on a bike stand, remove the front wheel and forks, the two guys can push the bike backwards up the ramp, and into the xB. Reassembly of the parts takes 13 minutes, and that's with taking the time to use torque wrenches.
