The control unit contains a barometric sensor, which ensures always optimum combustion under all conditions and at all altitudes. Vespa have also put plenty of development into ensuring the iGet 150cc engine can handle the stop/start nature of city traffic.

Vespa have kept their chassis setup simple with a conventional sheet metal body with welded reinforcements, echoing that of the original Vespas. Continuing the improved yet retro technology throughout the scooter is the suspension setup, the front is handled by a single arm with helical spring and single double-acting hydraulic shock absorber instead of a conventional fork design. The rear has had comfort kept in mind with a double-acting shock absorber, adjustable to four positions for preload.
The Pic Nic is outfitted with a range of dedicated accessories designed for maximum enjoyment of outdoor moments. It is accompanied by an elegant picnic basket made of wood intertwined with rattan that contains a convenient removable cooler bag and the must-have blanket. Made in a special jacquard fabric with a pattern that mimics the woven basket, the blanket is also water resistant.
Both the basket and the blanket can be conveniently transported on the chromium plated front and rear luggage rack which comes standard on this special version, enriched by a brown leather belt that also serves as a handle to easily carry the folded blanket.
Available in the Verde Pic Nic and Grigio Pic Nic colour schemes with elegant graphics on the side panels, Vespa Pic Nic also features a dedicated two-tone saddle, where the beige seating area is combined with a dark brown rear stripe with a particular woven pattern. The saddle is also enhanced by light grey piping and a belt decorated with the Italian flag.
