Piaggio Offers 4-Year Warranty on Scooters… But Only on This Side of the Atlantic

Piaggio Offers 4-Year Warranty on Scooters… But Only on This Side of the Atlantic

From Vespa to Aprilia, scooters get a confidence boost — except for Americans, who’ll have to keep trusting their luck.

Warranties are the kind thing no one really wants to test. After all, using a warranty usually means something went wrong. But a solid warranty says a lot about how much confidence a brand has in its own products — and in this regard, the Piaggio Group just took a giant step forward.

As of May 19, 2025, all Euro 5 and Euro 5+ homologated scooters from Piaggio, Vespa, and Aprilia now come with a full four-year warranty. The offer covers Europe, the UK, and some neighboring countries, but excludes the United States — which, to some, feels like well-deserved “American bad luck” for not being able to pronounce Primavera with an Italian accent.

Which models are covered?
This warranty extension applies to major urban segment players like:

  • Vespa GTS, Primavera and Sprint – true icons with unmatched style and charm that no bargain Chinese scooter found online can replicate;
  • Piaggio Beverly – the high-wheeled scooter that feels at home on highways yet still shines on city boulevards;
  • Aprilia SR GT – the most adventurous of the bunch, with long-travel suspension and a “go anywhere” attitude, even if “anywhere” includes Portuguese cobblestones and potholes the size of craters.

What does the warranty cover?
Everything. Yes, absolutely everything: parts, labor, and technical support, provided the owner follows the maintenance schedule and mileage limits. No hidden costs or fine print with lawyer tricks.

The idea is simple: show that these scooters are built to last — and that Piaggio isn’t afraid to put its name behind that claim.

But… what about the sportier Aprilias?
Interestingly (or maybe not), this warranty doesn’t apply to Aprilia’s more radical machines — RS 660, Tuono V4, RSV4, and the like. But to be fair: these aren’t scooters for grocery runs. These are track-ready motorcycles accustomed to insane RPMs, sharp-angle cornering, and occasionally… lifting the front wheel off the ground. A four-year warranty on these would only work with mandatory telemetry and a priest blessing each oil change.

A lasting trend?
Piaggio’s move is part of a new wave of brand loyalty strategies in the industry. Yamaha, for instance, already offers a 10-year warranty in India on certain models. And emerging Chinese brands are pushing extended warranties hard to gain consumer trust fast.

What was once a luxury is now a growing market expectation. Long-term confidence is no longer a bonus. It’s becoming a consumer right.

Even though Americans were left out, Piaggio’s initiative sets a strong example. For daily scooter riders, this is music to their ears — or at least, less noise from a broken engine.
