Through autumn and winter on the Vespa & Lambretta
Many scooters are symbols of style and freedom and offer a wonderful way to enjoy the riding experience on the road. While riding a Vespa or Lambretta through the city or along country roads is a pure joy in the warmer months, the colder months bring some challenges. Especially in autumn and winter, wind and weather are often unpredictable and can make riding an unpleasant, if not dangerous, experience. That's why it's important to equip yourself with the right protection. Here you will find detailed information on Rainwear and Bad weather protection.
Why leg protection and grip sleeves are the perfect companions:
Thermal protection: In autumn and winter, the temperature can drop rapidly. While car drivers sit in the sheltered interior of their vehicle, Vespa riders are directly exposed to the elements. A good leg protector protects against the penetrating cold wind and ensures that the legs stay warm even at lower temperatures.
Wind/Weather Leg Cover Linuscud TUCANO URBANO
The "Linuscud" from TUCANO URBANO is the ideal wind and weather protection for short journeys, especially in urban areas. This accessory is hung around the body like an apron and is not firmly anchored to the scooter, ensuring maximum freedom of movement. This design not only makes it quick to put on, but also ensures that the legs, chest and hips are always kept cosy and warm. Thanks to the high-quality thermal lining and taped seams, the "Linuscud" is 100% waterproof and offers optimum protection in all weathers. Reflective details also increase the rider's visibility in traffic. Another advantage of this weather protection is its versatility: when not in use, it can simply be converted into a compact carry bag and stowed away. However, it should be noted that the "Linuscud" is suitable for speeds of up to around 50 km/h.
Protection from the wet: Rain, sleet or snow are not uncommon in the cooler months. A leg protector prevents water from getting directly onto the legs and keeps them dry.
Leg Cover TUCANO URBANO "Take Away"
The "Takeaway" leg cover is the ideal companion for wind and weather protection on short and medium distances. Especially in urban areas or on short journeys, it ensures that legs and hips always stay comfortably warm and dry as it is 100% waterproof. Easy to wear over normal clothing, it can be put on in seconds and is perfect for both the driver and the passenger. Another highlight is its availability in different sizes. Its design, which is not firmly attached to the vehicle, guarantees maximum freedom of movement. Thanks to the ergonomic cut pattern, an anti-flutter system is also guaranteed, which provides additional comfort. The combination of high-quality thermal lining and taped seams ensures optimum protection from the elements. An additional advantage of the "Takeaway" leg protector is its small pack size, which makes it particularly easy and convenient to stow and Drive.
Safety: Cold hands can make it difficult to grip and operate the Vespa. Grip sleeves insulate the hands from the cold and ensure that they remain warm and flexible, which ultimately contributes to a safer ride.
Hand Grip Covers TUCANO URBANO "Streamlined"
The grip cuffs from TUCANO URBANO are specially designed to keep your hands pleasantly warm and are equipped with a particularly warm synthetic fur lining. Thanks to their ergonomic design, they still allow easy access to controls such as the Light and Indicator Switch. In addition, their special design guarantees freedom of movement for the hands and the Brake Lever. The quick and easy installation is another highlight of these cuffs. Made from 5mm thick neoprene, they not only provide excellent insulation but are also waterproof. Additional safety is provided by reflective details that increase the rider's visibility, especially in poor lighting conditions. They are also perfect for models with Handlebar End Weights, allowing them to blend seamlessly into the overall look of the scooter.
Comfort: Riding a Vespa scooter should be fun and comfortable. Inserting leg protection and grip covers makes the experience more pleasant, even in the colder months, and allows you to enjoy the ride to the full.
Leg Cover TUCANO URBANO "Panta-Fast"
For all those who find the "Termoscud" too bulky or are looking for additional protection against wind and weather, the "Panta-Fast" is the ideal choice. This protection is placed around the body like an apron and is not firmly attached to the scooter. This keeps your legs, chest and hips nice and warm at all times, and the 100% waterproof material keeps out any moisture. Worn over normal clothing, the "Panta-Fast" offers additional protection against cold and moisture and is ideal for both the rider and the passenger. It can also be put on in a flash and is completely waterproof thanks to its high water column. The high-quality thermal lining and taped seams provide cosy warmth and additional insulation. Reflective details ensure safety, increasing the rider's visibility in low light conditions.
Another feature is the option to wear the "Panta-Fast" as overtrousers. Its close-fitting cut makes it particularly suitable for high speeds without flapping. When not in use, the sewn-in carrying bag of the "Panta-Fast" transforms into a practical Backpack, so that it is always ready to hand and easy to transport.
Style: For many Vespa riders, style is also an important factor. Leg protection and grip cuffs are available in various designs that are not only functional, but also emphasise the aesthetic appearance of the scooter and the rider.
Wind/Weather Leg Cover "Termoscud" PRO TUCANO URBANO
The 4 SEASON SYSTEM of the "Termoscud" from TUCANO URBANO is a true all-rounder for scooter riders, offering reliable protection all year round. While the Leg Cover provides maximum thermal protection in the cold winter months, in summer only the basic structure remains on the scooter, which includes both an emergency rain cover and a seat cover.
Three carefully constructed layers ensure optimum protection against all weather conditions. The outer shell, made of polyamide and Tarpaulin, is waterproof and is additionally protected by taped seams. Inside there is a 100% waterproof Reed Valve which, together with the warm winter quilt, which can be easily removed in summer, offers protection from the cold and wet.
A special highlight is the revised S.G.A.S. 2.0 anti-flutter system, which remains stable even at higher speeds. Safety is a top priority here: An Anti-Theft Device protects against unwanted access and reflective details increase the rider's visibility in traffic.
The generous storage bag provides additional convenience. The integrated seat cover and emergency rain cover offer further protection, especially during the summer. A clever feature is the Smart Holder System, which can hold an optional waterproof smartphone Bag (available separately under item no. TUR468N). Finally, the Leg Cover complies with category 1 (personal protective equipment) according to CE EN 343:2008, which emphasises its high quality and safety.
In summary, leg protection and grip covers are essential for Vespa riders in autumn and winter. Not only do they protect against the rigours of the weather, they also increase comfort and safety when riding. So you can enjoy the freedom on two wheels to the full even in the cold season.
