Beliebe it or not: Vespa teams up with Justin Bieber for special Sprint

Vespa have unveiled a special edition Sprint, designed by none other than Justin Bieber. The teen pop idol turned millennial fashion icon (nope, don’t ask us either) has turned his hand to design, reimagining the scooter with a completely white paintjob along with monochromatic flames.

In case there was any doubt who has designed it, his name also adorns the rear of the bike.

“The first time I rode a Vespa was somewhere in Europe, probably either London or Paris,” said Bieber. “I just remember seeing a Vespa and being like ‘I want to ride one of those’. And I had such a great time, just the wind flying through my hair, the freedom. It was fun.

“I love Vespa, and to partner with such a classic brand is so cool. Being able to express myself, whether it’s through art, music, visuals, or aesthetics, being able to create something from nothing – it’s a part of me. Ultimately the goal in creating and designing is always to put your own unique spin on things.”

Available in 50cc, 125cc and 150cc engine sizes, Vespa will launch the pre-ordering system on Monday, April 18. For now there’s no word on price but expect a significant premium.
