Classic Batteries For Classic Vespas



VE (UK) are dedicated to supplying quality products for classic Vespa scooters. Certain older models of Vespa scooters use battery types which are extremely hard to obtain nowadays in everyday circulation. Owners who feel a restoration is not complete without the correct screws, and trims will appreciate the original look of the batteries we are featuring here.

VE (UK) stock a range of batteries specifically for the older Vespa scooters for just this reason. The three batteries cover eight models of classic Vespa including: 150 Super, 150 Sprint, 150 GL, GS150, GS150, 180 SS, and the Rally 180 and 200 models. These batteries are designed to produce output that is the same as the original batteries in the 50s and 60s. The other aspect is the looks. For the purist these batteries are almost identical to look at, even down to the top covers used to isolate the battery terminals.
