The secure fastening of luggage on the Vespa is a basic element of every Vespa ride. Whether it’s a quick trip to the supermarket or up and down hills, the load must be securely and clearly attached to the scooter so that no problems occur during the journey and you can concentrate fully on the road. It’s a good thing that there are special brackets that keep everything in place: Luggage racks for the Vespa are available in various designs. We would like to introduce you to a few of them here.
If you are still looking for the right bags for your trip, we have the following article for you: ‘Bags and cases for the Vespa – travelling by scooter’
Luggage racks for modern Vespas
There is a large selection of luggage racks for Modern Vespa, here we present some bestsellers for all mounting options:
Luggage Carrier floor board SIP
for Vespa GTS/GTS Super/GTV/GT 60/GT L 125-300ccm 4T LC
Ideal for securing luggage with a luggage net or expander. Creates additional storage space on the Vespa. Is attached to the four screw connections of the step-through floor mat.
The step-through luggage rack is also available for Vespa Primavera/Sprint 50-150cc.
Luggage Carrier front FA 656105
for Vespa LX/LXV/S 50-150ccm
The front carrier is attached to the leg shield with two brackets. These are covered with rubber protection and do not leave any scratches or damage to the paintwork when the carrier is removed. No holes are required for installation. In addition, the front carrier is secured by an angle plate, which is attached to the bottom of the frame, thus providing optimum support even for heavier luggage.
Luggage Carrier rear SIP 70s
for Vespa GTS/GTS Super HPE 125-300 (’19-)
The ‘70s’ luggage rack is a tribute to Vespa accessories from the 60/70s. The carrier adapts ideally to the flowing shape of the rear and offers a good transport option for small luggage such as a luggage roll etc.
A variation of this is the SIP 70s rear luggage rack/suspension bracket for the Vespa GTS/GTS Super/GTV/GT 60/GT/GT L 125-300cc 4T LC.
In addition to the visual enhancement, the carrier also has a second benefit. Without having to resort to permanently installed bags or top cases, smaller items of luggage in the form of bags or similar can be easily attached here.
Luggage racks for classic Vespas
There is a large selection of luggage carriers for classic Vespas, here we present some bestsellers for all mounting options:
Luggage Carrier for legshield floor SIP
The special luggage rack from SIP is mounted in the step-through of the scooter. This makes it ideal for lashing luggage and bulky items. It also effectively protects the paintwork of the step-through against abrasion.
Luggage Carrier front SIP
for Vespa Cosa 1/2 125-200
Pannier racks with a small distance to the leg shield have a filigree appearance, especially on smallframe models. Luggage racks with a greater distance allow more payload, as the headlight is not covered when there is a large payload. To achieve a uniform look, components such as luggage racks, crash bars and bumpers from the same manufacturer should be combined.

for Vespa Cosa 1/2 125-200
Rear pannier racks are bolted to the holes in the seat and tank. Some models are supplied with an additional linkage for optimum support. This is attached to the lower edge of the frame and bolted in place. Almost all carriers are available in folding and rigid versions. Rigid carriers are particularly suitable for attaching panniers, bags and top cases.

Just make sure that the rear light always remains clear and visible. Holes are required for mounting if these are not already present.
