Seats, single saddles, seat covers & replacement parts for Vespa and Lambretta
- at SIP Scootershop
Mostly Lambrettas, Classic and Modern Vespas are exposed to the elements. From blizzards to desert storms, just about anything sweeps them away. The seats in particular take a beating. They fade, become porous and eventually tear. The foam soaks up moisture and gives you a wet backside every time you ride. Then, at the latest, it's time for a new seat. Single saddles , on the other hand, convey the typical 50s and 60s look and also look good on many models on which they were not fitted as standard. The high seating position is a little unusual at first and gives a slightly spongy feeling. But once you get used to it, you don't want to miss it.
Often, the seat or frame single saddle of a 30-year-old barn find is still in good shape, but the upholstery is past its prime. Scuffed surfaces and torn seams are not cool, even on a patina box, and should be replaced with a new seat cover or cover single saddle. Changed in just a few steps, the seat or single saddle will look like new.
How do I find the right seat or single saddle for my scooter?
At the moment you are in the general section on seats and single saddles. However, you can narrow down your search by selecting the model above, for example "Modern Vespa" or "Lambretta", depending on the vehicle for which you are looking for a seat, a single saddle or a cover. Then only the articles that are suitable for this are displayed. By selecting the filter, for example "seat cushion", you can further refine the display. If you remove the category filter, e.g. "Classic Vespa", the entire range for seat cushions is displayed the entire range of seats and single saddles is displayed. This is always helpful if you are not sure what kind of scooter you are riding.

Single saddles & seat cushions
On classic Vespas it was usual for the rider and pillion to sit on a single saddle or seat cushion. Seats were only fitted as standard on the 150 GS and later model series or were only available as accessories from PIAGGIO. Single saddles convey the typical 50s and 60s look and also look good on many models on which they were not fitted as standard. The high seating position is a little unusual at first and gives a slightly spongy feeling, but once you get used to it, you won't want to miss it. We recommend combining it with the matching colour seat cushion or rear single saddle. Rear single saddles were never fitted as standard, but they offer a nice alternative to seat cushions.
Seat - Standard
Seats are probably one of the most stressed frame parts of the Vespa. In addition to the normal wear and tear caused by daily use, they are also exposed to the elements, fade, become porous and eventually tear. However, wear and tear is not always the reason for replacement. On most models, the seats can be easily interchanged in a few simple steps, thus changing the appearance of the Vespa quickly and easily.
Seat Sport
No other frame parts can change the look of your Vespa as quickly and effectively as a sport seat. The idea of rounding off the sporty look of the Vespa with a flowing rear end dates back to 1951, when a real race model came onto the market with the "Vespa Sei Giorni". Our own SIP sport seats are among our very first products! They were and still are a flagship of SIP Scootershop and our special pride. The prototype was already created in 1993 with a lot of blood and spatula in the catacombs of the first SIP shop. Since then, our sport seats have adorned countless custom scooters of the last two decades.
Seat covers, seat cushions & replacement parts
Often, the frame single saddle of a 30-year-old barn find is still in good shape, but the cover is usually past its prime. Scuffed surfaces and torn seams are not cool, even in a patina case, and should be replaced with a new cover single saddle. Changed in a few easy steps, the singel seat looks like new. Unless otherwise stated, all covers are made of high-quality, weatherproof imitation leather.
Seat support & back rests
A Vespa or Lambretta that is approved for two-person use requires a seat grab rail or seat strap. The pillion rider can hold on to it and does not do a backwards roll during a quick start. Some mounting brackets have been reissued as SIP spare parts, as many of these have been discontinued by the original manufacturers. These new editions also allow for other colours, which are then indicated under the SIP Style logo. Back rests considerably increase riding comfort, especially on long tours. Unfortunately, these replacement parts are not available for scooters and maxi scooters.
