About this model
About the Vespa 98
The Vespa 98 is the very first Piaggio Vespa from the immediate post-war period. This compact scooter with a 98cc two-stroke engine, monocoque body and small wheels established the entire Vespa line. It is more historically significant than practically fast: a correct example is about originality of the frame, engine, bodywork and controls. Always confirm that it is truly an early 98 rather than a later look-alike or a scooter with a converted engine.
A Vespa 98 suits collectors and riders who enjoy gentle classic journeys. The riding experience is simple and light, but braking, lighting and performance are very much of the 1940s. When buying, corrosion, welding quality and correct-parts availability are decisive. A well documented restoration with visible frame numbers and matching engine parts is far more valuable than a cosmetically attractive scooter with unclear provenance.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the frame and engine numbers, type plate and documents for an early 98 identity; later Vespa parts or engines are often used in restorations.
- Inspect the floorboard, tunnel, front mudguard and mountings for rust-through, filler and non-original welding.
- Test cold starting, clutch, gear rods, cables, brakes and lighting; old looms and controls often need complete rebuilding.
