2013 Vespa S 150 Sport SE Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Vespa's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Vespa S 150 Sport SE features a 150 cc (9.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.7 HP (8.5 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.5 Nm (8.5 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 78 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the S 150 Sport SE measures 96 kg (212 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.21 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,278 mm (50.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.6-liter (2.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.24 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 265 km (165 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 95 km/h (59 mph).
