Frequently Asked Questions

Where is it in Canberra?

The main hub will be at Exhibition Park EPIC on Remembrance Drive.

The Gala Dinner on Saturday evening will be held at the Canberra Rex Hotel, south of EPIC on Northbourne Ave. Both centres are linked by tram. See the Program page for all you need to know about what is happening and locations.

All Vespa are welcome. Classic Vespa representing the 80 years of Vespa production will be celebrated. We’ll offer a ride for slower vintage Vespa that travel below 80 kph as one of the ride-outs too.  We’ll be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the mighty PX. Keep watching for updates.

I’m a ‘classic’ scooterist and I just won’t associate with modern automatic riders. Should I come?

Probably not.

I’m travelling a long way and can’t bring my Vespa. Can I just attend without my Vespa?

Of course, you are welcome.

Is there the possibility to rent a Vespa?  

Renting a Vespa is extremely limited in Australia, and is difficult to arrange. Most rental companies only offer cheap Chinese made scooters. We would recommend that you liaise with your friends and contacts in Australian clubs who may be able to loan you a Vespa.

Will there be another Australian Vespa Days in the future?

Yes. We run these every two years to ensure that they are well organized and within the quality parameters set by the Vespa World Club. So our next Australian Vespa Days will be in 2029.
