A Masterpiece of Italian Craftsmanship for Your Vespa

In the world of classic scootering, few names evoke as much nostalgia and prestige as NISA. Based in the historic industrial hub of Forlì, Italy, this small but world-renowned factory has been the gold standard for high-quality seating solutions for decades. It is truly difficult to imagine the global Vespa landscape without the influence of NISA’s craftsmanship.

The Selle Yankee NISA biplace Giuliari is the crown jewel of their extensive range. This seat is not just a replacement part; it is a cultural icon that defined an entire era of riding. Whether you are navigating the winding roads of the Amalfi Coast or commuting through the bustling streets of Paris or Berlin, this seat transforms your Vespa into a vessel of style and superior comfort.

The Original Giuliari Design Meets Modern Excellence

The “Yankee” design was originally made famous by Giuliari in the 1980s and 90s, becoming the must-have upgrade for every rider. Today, NISA has breathed new life into this classic, combining the retro-classic look with 21st-century manufacturing techniques.

The most striking feature of the Selle Yankee NISA biplace Giuliari seat is its unique stepped biplace design. Unlike flat standard seats, the Yankee offers a distinct elevation for the passenger, providing an ergonomic advantage that has been celebrated for generations. This “stepped” profile ensures that both the rider and the pillion passenger enjoy a clear view of the road and a more natural seating posture, reducing fatigue during those legendary long-distance road trips.

100% Made in Italy with High-Quality Materials

Authenticity is at the heart of everything NISA produces. Every Selle Yankee NISA is proudly Made in Italy, ensuring that the heritage of Italian design remains intact.

• Premium Synthetic Leather: The seat cover is crafted from high-quality, weather-resistant materials that mimic the grain and feel of classic leather while offering far superior durability against UV rays and rain.

• Optimal Padding: Inside, the seat utilizes high-density foam that retains its shape over years of use, preventing the “bottoming out” feeling common in cheaper alternatives.

• Sturdy Construction: The base plate is engineered for a perfect fit, ensuring a seamless installation on models like the Vespa PX, PE, or Iris.

The Timeless Charm of the Golden Era

There is something undeniably magnetic about the silhouette of a vintage Vespa. If you are looking to capture the authentic spirit of the 1950s and 60s, the Vespa Solo Front Saddle is the most significant aesthetic upgrade you can choose. Originally designed for the legendary models that first conquered the streets of Italy, these single seats offer a classic look that remains unsurpassed in terms of style.

While modern bench seats are practical, they often lack the “soul” of a traditional setup. By installing a Solo Front Saddle, you instantly transport your scooter back to the era of La Dolce Vita. Interestingly, while these seats are a must-have for restoration projects, they have recently become a massive trend for newer Vespa models. Adding a sprung solo seat to a modern PX or even a customized GTV creates a “Neo-Retro” look that stands out in any urban landscape.

A Unique Riding Experience with the Vespa Solo Front Saddle : The Magic of the Springs

At first glance, switching from a flat foam bench to a sprung solo seat might seem like a purely stylistic choice. However, the first time you kickstart your engine and pull away, you will notice the difference. The elevated seating position provides a commanding view of the road, giving the rider a more upright, ergonomic posture.

Then, there is the movement. The relaxing spring action is a sensation unlike any other. At first, the slight oscillation and the way the seat reacts to the road’s contours might feel unusual. But after just a few kilometers, most riders find it impossible to go back to a static seat. The mechanical suspension of the saddle acts as a secondary buffer, absorbing vibrations and small bumps that the scooter’s main suspension might miss. It’s a “floating” sensation that makes long-distance touring or daily commuting a genuinely relaxing experience.

Why Settle for Standard?

In a world of mass-produced scooters, a Vespa Solo Front Saddle is a statement of individuality. It tells the world that you appreciate the history of mechanical engineering and the beauty of Italian design. Whether you are navigating the narrow alleys of a Mediterranean village or the wide avenues of a modern city, this seat ensures you do so with maximum style and comfort.

Customization and Color Coordination

To achieve the perfect look for your project, we highly recommend matching your Vespa Solo Front Saddle color scheme with your scooter’s paintwork. Whether you prefer the classic Dark Chocolate Brown, a sophisticated Black Leather, or a vintage Cream/Beige, the right cover choice can tie the entire aesthetic of your Vespa together.

For those looking to complete the set, while rear solo seats were never integrated into standard production models, they represent a fantastic alternative to traditional pillion pads. Pairing a front solo saddle with a matching rear unit creates a professional, balanced appearance that is often seen on high-end custom builds and show-winning restorations.

Premium Quality and Italian Durability

Our #1 Vespa Solo Front Saddles are engineered for durability. In 2026, riders demand parts that don’t just look good but stand up to the elements.

• High-Tensile Steel Springs: Coated to prevent rust and tuned for the perfect balance between firmness and flexibility.

• Weather-Resistant Covers: Our synthetic leather covers are treated to resist UV fading and water penetration, ensuring your seat looks “showroom fresh” for years.

• Precision Fitment: Designed for a seamless installation, these seats mount securely to the frame, providing a stable and safe platform for the rider.

La plupart du temps, les vieilles Vespa ont été exposées pendant des années aux intempéries – du blizzard à la tempête du désert. Cela laisse des traces, notamment sur la selle biplace : elle se décolore, se fissure et finit par se déchirer. La mousse absorbe l’humidité et fait mouiller les vêtements à chaque sortie. C’est au plus tard à ce moment-là que le remplacement de la selle biplace s’impose.

Selon les modèles, le déverrouillage de la selle biplace s’effectue soit par une serrure, soit par un levier ou un bouton pression à l’extrémité de la selle. Pour l’utilisation en biplace, la loi impose une sangle ou une Poignée selle pour le passager ; celle-ci est prémontée sur toutes les selles biplaces homologuées.

Les selles mono soulignent les lignes de la Vespa et se terminent de manière esthétique à l’arrière. Elles sont montées sur les points de fixation d’origine et peuvent être remplacées en un tour de main par la selle de série.

Cette selle mono classique a été montée en série sur les modèles Vespa Special et R, car en Italie, les véhicules de 50 cm3 n’étaient autorisés qu’en tant que monoplace. L’assise offre suffisamment de place pour une personne, le déverrouillage se fait par un levier situé sur le bord de la selle. En raison de l’absence de courroie de maintien, la selle biplace est exclusivement autorisée pour une utilisation par une seule personne et constitue donc une solution authentique pour les configurations classiques de smallframe.
