Passenger Footrests ...

[jacques]

Good Morning -

I wondered if anybody has foot rests on the cowling of their scoot - sometimes I have passengers and they have no footrest - I saw this model with the footrests on the trim ... not sure if this was a standard feature or something new - I have never seen these in scooter parts catalogs ...

Anybody ...

Thanks

Jacques

The larger modern vespas (GT200, GTS250, GT60) generally have fold-out footrests.

Clicky clicky for an example:

This is a standard feature on the above models. Since it's part of the frame/trim, I haven't seen anyone adding these on to a different model.

However, if you would like passenger foot pegs for your '69 Bajaj, you might be able to find an appropriate set of chrome crash bars with footpegs.

I couldn't find a Bajaj-specific link, but just to give you the general idea, here's an example for ET/LX models:

Ask your friendly local dealer if they can source the appropriate kit, or bodge something together from a similar model.

While the add-on chrome pegs do have a more classic appeal, some people prefer the built-in folding foot pegs. Probably because . they are unobtrusively tucked away for the 99% of the time you're not carrying a passenger, and since they fold in on themselves, they won't smack into the back of your leg in a rough stop.

Sorry I was not clear enough and now I can't find the pictures - but the Vespa I saw had footrests for the passenger on the chrome guards on either side of the rear cowlings ...

Regards,
