Classic Scooters

About the scooters
themselves.

Are Scialla scooters original Italian scooters?

Scialla specializes in classic Italian Vespa and Lambretta scooters. Restoration work focuses on preserving the identity and character of the original scooter while rebuilding the components necessary to prepare it for use.

Are classic Vespa and Lambretta scooters suitable for everyday riding?

A properly restored classic scooter can be used for regular riding, but it remains a classic vehicle with characteristics different from a modern scooter. Maintenance, adjustment and riding conditions should be considered before using one as a daily vehicle.

What does “restored” mean at Scialla?

Restoration can involve the scooter body and frame, engine, electrical system, brakes, suspension and other mechanical components. The exact work depends on the condition and specification of each scooter. Scialla's goal is to preserve the scooter's character while rebuilding what is necessary for reliable use.

Are classic scooters completely maintenance-free after restoration?

No. A classic scooter is not maintenance-free. Even a carefully restored vintage Vespa or Lambretta requires normal inspection, adjustment and maintenance over time, particularly because many classic scooters use older mechanical designs and two-stroke engines.

Restoration

What happens
during restoration?

Can Scialla restore a scooter to a specific specification?

Yes. Restoration projects can be customized according to the scooter, available components and the customer's requirements. Color, accessories and selected upgrades can be discussed before the project is finalized.

Do you restore the engine as well as the body?

Restoration can include mechanical work as well as body and cosmetic restoration. Depending on the scooter, this may include the engine, electrical system, brakes, suspension, frame and bodywork.

Can I ask about the restoration history of a particular scooter?

Yes. When discussing a specific scooter, you can ask Scialla for available information about its model, specification, restoration work and identification details before purchasing.

Worldwide Shipping

How does international
scooter shipping work?

Do you ship classic Vespa and Lambretta scooters internationally?

Yes. Scialla arranges international shipping for classic Vespa and Lambretta scooters and works with experienced forwarding partners to prepare scooters for overseas transportation.

How is a scooter prepared for international shipping?

Scooters are secured inside a custom wooden shipping crate. The preparation can include structural supports, wheel and kickstand restraints, protective padding, protection for chrome and finished surfaces, and secure packing of spare parts and accessories.

Are the scooters shipped in a wooden crate?

Yes. Scialla uses custom wooden crates for international scooter shipments. The crate is designed to protect the scooter during handling and transportation and to meet applicable international shipping requirements.

Can you ship a scooter to my country?

Scialla serves customers internationally. Shipping options and final costs depend on the destination, available freight route, port, customs requirements and local delivery arrangements. Contact us with your destination for a specific shipping quotation.

Do I have to pick up my scooter at a sea port?

Not necessarily. Depending on the destination and shipping arrangement, local delivery or forwarding to a nearby warehouse may be possible. Door-to-door arrangements should be confirmed for your specific destination before purchase.

Who handles customs and import requirements?

International import procedures vary by country. Scialla and the forwarding company can provide shipping and documentation information, but local customs procedures, taxes, duties and registration requirements depend on the destination country.

Warranty & Ownership

after the scooter arrives?

What should I do if the scooter is damaged during shipping?

Shipping damage should be documented and reported to the shipping agent or carrier as soon as possible. Contact Scialla as well so we can assist with the shipping claim and next steps.

Are classic scooters different from modern scooters?
