What is the ideal tire pressure?

Our advice is to keep the "average tire pressure." This is 2.1 bar for the front tire and 2.5 bar for the rear. Note! The ideal tire pressure varies from scooter to scooter.

Like a car, there are a number of things that go into determining the proper tire pressure for your scooter. Weight and tire type play a role. For example, do you often have someone on the back? Then we recommend keeping the tire pressure a little higher.

Tire Pressure by Scooter

Always consult your scooter's service booklet for the tire pressure recommended from the manufacturer. We have listed the recommended tire pressures of some well-known scooter brands for you.

Consult your Vespa's service booklet.

Is your scooter tire soft?

Then stop immediately at the first gas station you pass! It is really important for your own safety and the safety of others that you drive around with the correct tire pressure. With soft tires you have a longer braking distance, your scooter has less stability and the chance of a flat tire is considerably higher. So from now on, don't think when you see that your tire is soft. It is better to arrive at your destination a little later than to put yourself and others in a dangerous situation because of a soft scooter tire.

Driving with a soft tire costs money....

If your scooter's tires are soft you not only consume more fuel but also your tires wear out faster. So in addition to safety, you also save money by regularly checking and maintaining your tire pressure. So you are a thief of your own wallet if you don't check your tire pressure regularly.

Tips from Scooter Repair Service

✓ Check your tire pressure regularly.
✓ Do this at least once every 3 to 4 weeks (even if you don't drive every day.)
✓ While you're at it, you might as well do a quick inspection of your tread for wear and tear 😉
