The Sprint Tech’s design incorporates new color options, including black, warm gray, and a distinctive fluo-green.

The lighting system has been updated, featuring new lights on the leg-shield back plate. This includes a Bike Finder function, which activates the turn indicators to help locate the scooter.

A significant upgrade is the introduction of a five-inch full-color TFT dashboard. This display offers both day and night modes, and provides riders with a range of information.

When connected to a smartphone via the Vespa app or the Vespa MIA device, the dashboard can display notifications for incoming calls, missed calls, messages, music management, and social media updates.

Notably, the Sprint Tech now integrates turn-by-turn GPS navigation. Riders can set their destination within the app, and navigation details (including distance, time to arrival, and route options) are then displayed on the scooter’s dashboard.

Another key feature of the Sprint Tech is the keyless system. This allows riders to start the scooter without physically removing the key fob from their pocket. The key fob also includes buttons to unlock the underseat storage and activate the Bike Finder feature.
