The Vespa GTS 310 SuperSport is where Italian craftsmanship meets pure presence.

This is the sportiest member of the GTS family, and it does not try to hide it. Fluorescent orange stitching runs across a black sports saddle, graphite rims sit beneath matte and gloss finishes, and every detail has been chosen to make a statement without ever raising its voice.

There is a quiet confidence in the way it carries itself. The 310 HPE engine delivers smooth, composed power that turns the everyday commute into something you actually look forward to, while the unmistakable Vespa silhouette reminds everyone exactly what you are riding.

This is the kind of scooter you buy because life is too short for ordinary.

R220 000.

Petrol just hit R28.06 a litre. The highest price in the history of this country. Not this year, not this decade, ever. Filling a single tank now costs more than it ever has for any South African who has ever owned a car. Somewhere, your bakkie is quietly bleeding you dry with every trip to the shops.

And it gets worse. The fuel levy relief is being phased out completely by July, so this is not the peak. It is the warm up.

Here is the good news. A scooter sips around 3 to 4 litres per 100km, which means you could fill up for the price of a decent lunch and still have change. Less money at the pump, less time in traffic, and a whole lot more joy on the way to wherever you are going.

The fuel price is out of your control. What you ride is not.

There’s a new face at Scoot Squad Somerset West, although many riders will already know her name.

We’re proud to welcome Linlee Solms as our new Shop Manager, now joining Vespa full time from 1 June 2026, after more than 40 years in the biking world. Her passion for two wheels, rider culture and the open road runs deep, and if you’ve spent even a few minutes chatting to her, you’ll know this is far more than just a job.

Whether you’re looking at your first scooter, returning to riding, or searching for something that truly suits your lifestyle, Linlee believes the right set of wheels should feel personal. No pressure, no hard sell, just honest conversations, good coffee and decades of experience to guide you.

Pop in, have a coffee and let Linlee help you find your perfect ride.

The kind of scooter you buy because life is too short for ordinary.

The Vespa GTS 310 SuperSport is Vespa's sportiest Grand Tourer. Bold enough to stop people in their tracks, refined enough to remind them exactly what they are looking at. Fluorescent orange stitching. Graphite rims. Five colours, each one chosen with the kind of intention that only Italian design understands.

Available at Scoot Squad.

Some scooters take you from A to B. The Vespa Sprint Sport 150 makes you wonder why you ever went straight there.

Sharp where it needs to be. Stylish without trying. The kind of thing you park outside a coffee shop and glance back at twice before you go inside.

This is the one for the rider who wants a little more edge.

This is not about getting from A to B. It is about what people see when you pull up. The exposed frame. The sharp lines.

The Dragster 300 is built for the rider who wants something that feels as good to look at as it does to ride.
Bold, different, and completely its own thing. Available now at Scoot Squad.

Eighty years ago, an idea was born in Italy that changed the way the world moves. That idea became one of the most recognised shapes ever made.

Timeless design. Modern performance. A scooter that carries eighty years of history on every ride.

The GTS 310 80th Anniversary is available now through Scoot Squad Somerset West. If you want one, come and see it in person.

The Italjet Roadster 400 is not the kind of scooter you buy because it’s practical. You buy it because nothing else on the road looks, sounds or feels like it.

Sharp design. Aggressive performance. Pure attitude from every angle.

The new Italjet Roadster 400 is now available for pre-order through Scoot Squad Somerset West in Black and Racing Green.

Each scooter is ordered specifically for its owner, with delivery expected in December / early January once your order and deposit have been secured.

If you’ve been waiting for something bold, rare and completely different from the ordinary, this is it.

Pre-orders are officially open and deposits are required.

Contact Scoot Squad Somerset West today to start the process and secure your Italjet Roadster 400.

Today we celebrate the person who keeps everything moving behind the scenes and makes Scoot Squad feel like more than just a shop.

Happy Birthday, Penny.

From helping you find the right scooter to making sure every ride, service, and moment in store runs smoothly, Penny is at the heart of what we do. If you’ve spent any time with us, you’ll know the energy, care, and commitment she brings to this community every single day.

We’re lucky to have her leading the way, and even luckier to share the ride with her.

This Saturday, 9 May, we have an opportunity to step away from the road for a few hours and give back to something that truly matters.

Scoot Squad would love to join a local community initiative hosted by Pet Savers and Kennels For a Cause, as part of Pet Savers’ 23rd Birthday celebration. Kennels will be painted and refreshed for animals in need. It’s a simple act, but one that makes a real difference. If you’ve ever felt how much joy animals bring into our lives, this is a chance to return some of that care.

You don’t need any special skills, just a willingness to get involved and be part of something meaningful. Bring a friend, bring your family, or simply come through and join the Scoot Squad family for the morning.

Date: Saturday, 9 May
Time: 09:00 – 14:00
Location: Pet Savers - 3 Urtel Crescent, Somerset West

Let’s show up, get our hands a little dirty, and do something good together.

If you’re keen to join us, let us know or simply come through on the day.
