A Vespa, a rattan basket, the salty breeze of the sea. The sound of electric silence as you cruise along the coast, heading to breakfast. The new Vespa Special-e “Colazione al Lido”, created by Garage Italia for Hotel Byron in Forte dei Marmi, is all of this: a blend of style, craftsmanship, and freedom that captures a contemporary Dolce Vita with an eye on the future. 
The taste of the Italian summerThe project starts with a Vespa 50 Special, transformed into a fully electric vehicle thanks to a 7kW kit delivering up to 100 km of range. There’s no visual compromise: the motor and battery pack are seamlessly integrated into the original chassis, preserving the Vespa’s timeless silhouette. But what truly sets this piece apart is the bespoke customization that defines every detail.The bodywork is painted in Tellina, a soft, luminous off-white shade reminiscent of the fine sand along the Tuscan coast. In contrast, the tubular elements and trim are finished in Lido77, a pale pastel blue inspired by vintage Italian beach umbrellas. The result is an elegant, relaxed palette that instantly evokes summer by the sea.
Materials inspired by sea and natureThe single-seat saddle and grips are upholstered in a premium outdoor eco-leather by Ohoskin, made from orange peel and cactus waste. Antibacterial, anti-mold, and weatherproof, it’s perfect for sun-soaked seaside rides without sacrificing comfort or beauty.Completing the setup is the teak-effect footboard by Italdek®, soft to the touch yet durable, reminiscent of classic boat decks and tenders. A nautical touch that strengthens the bond between this Vespa and the marine setting of Forte dei Marmi.
An aesthetic picnicLike every Vespa Special-e, “Colazione al Lido” comes equipped with tailored accessories. The Lido77 blue front and rear racks support a tobacco-colored rattan basket handmade by the artisans of Bonacina—an enduring classic that transforms the Vespa into an invitation to travel, even if it’s just to the closest bar.
Silent eleganceIt’s not just a means of transport. It’s not just a collector’s item. “Colazione al Lido” is a small manifesto of functional beauty designed for those who live the summer with lightness, irony, and refined taste. A declaration for those who believe sustainability can be stylish, and that details, when crafted with care, speak louder than words.Design your own Vespa Special-e with our online configurator!
