Original PIAGGIO kick-starters have a black kick-starter rubber. Coloured kick-starter rubbers are also very popular, especially when combined with a fully coloured set of frame rubbers such as the items for the side panels, the fuel tap or the brake pedal. The grey and white rubbers are especially suited to the style of the earlier VESPA models.

Helpful hint: If the rubbers are difficult to fit, leave them in very hot water for a while before mounting to soften up the texture of the rubber.

Conclusion: If you are fed up of ruining your shoes or scarring your shin-bone on the naked metal you will definitely appreciate these kick-starter pedal rubbers.

SIP-TIP: Go the whole hog for a more complete look to your VESPA. We have different coloured rubbers available for side panels, fuel taps, brake pedals and last but not least the floor rails.

Which color suits my scooter?

We have tried to avoid subjective designations of light gray, dark gray, etc. for the gray tones and to assign them to RAL Classic tones. RAL shades are international, can be found online or are best compared with a RAL Colour Chart, e.g. SIP Art. no. 98889900. But even there are different opinions as to which shade of gray best corresponds to which RAL shade. Nevertheless, we believe that this classification makes it easier to order rubbers of the same shade.

• Pebble, agate and silk gray rubbers look good on Vespas with original paint, as they come closer to the color of weathered rubber.
• Light gray rubbers work well on restored and newly painted scooters. (RAL gray tones see article download)
• Pale green corresponds to the ACMA color for newly painted models
• we have had moss gray produced especially for ACMA Patina Models to match the old paints and rubber shades
