About the Vespa S 125

Overview

The Vespa S 125 is a scooter from Vespa. It is currently on sale. Scooters are made for easy city riding: automatic, step-through and usually with storage under the seat. With a 124.7 cc engine it sits in the 125 cc scooter class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 124.7 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that makes 9.3 bhp at 7,100 rpm and 10.1 Nm of torque at 5,600 rpm. Its stroke is longer than its bore (52 mm x 56.6 mm), a long-stroke layout that generally favours low-down pulling power. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 82 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 86 km/h. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It uses an automatic (CVT) transmission, so there are no gears or clutch to work — you twist the throttle and go.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a monocoque chassis. Suspension is by hydraulic single side arm front suspension at the front and hydraulic shock absorber at the rear. Braking is by a disc at the front and a drum at the rear, with a combined braking system (CBS). Using the rear brake lever also applies some front brake, which shortens stops for riders who lean on the rear brake. It rides on 11-inch front and 10-inch rear alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 110/70 - 11 at the front and 120/70 - 10 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 770 mm off the ground, which is low and makes it easy to put your feet down. It weighs 115 kg ready to ride, light enough to push around and park easily. It is 1,770 mm long, with 1,290 mm between the axles. It carries 7.4 L of fuel.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes a semi-digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, USB charging port, under-seat storage, service due indicator and low fuel indicator. Safety equipment includes side-stand engine cut-off and side-stand warning.

Owning one

The manufacturer's warranty is 60,000 km or 5 years. It comes with 4 free services. For the Vespa S 125, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹899 doorstep service.

Who it suits

It is best suited to city errands and riders who would rather not shift gears. Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders.

Care notes for this model

Recommended tyre pressures are 26 psi front and 29 psi rear riding alone, and 26 psi front and 32 psi rear with a pillion.

Maintaining the Vespa S 125

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Disc and Drum brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • CVT belt & variator

    Automatic scooters transmit power through a belt and variator. Listen for slipping or judder, and have them inspected as part of regular servicing.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 110/70 - 11 / 120/70 - 10 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 5A 12V. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

Vespa S 125 specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

CBS
Combined braking system. Pressing the rear brake also applies part of the front brake, which helps the bike stop more evenly.
Air cooling
The engine is cooled by air flowing over its fins. It is simpler and needs no coolant, which keeps upkeep straightforward.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
