Hi.. i have a question (which is quite embarrassing): I have the same vespa (not in that condition though).. i really cant get my head straight why these model needs a battery... two friends of mine also bought vespas. one from 1978 and the other from 1985 - both of them doesnt have batteries in them.. i really dont get, why mine (1982) does.. can somebody help? Greetings
@@andyhobi2322 I believe the battery is because the flywheel/coil system are not strong enough on their own to power the turn signals and lights on these newer models, back then
Generally all Vespas run on dynamos . As a result their lighting system is not so bright. I had a Vespa Super and a Sprint V which had 6 volt dynamos. At night I had difficulty seeing properly. Only my PX 150 had a 12 volt dynamo which made the lights particularly bright at night. So I think the reason for the battery was for the Vespa lights to be brighter at night.
