Saigon Scooter Centre – Scooter love made in Vietnam
When thinking of scooters and customization, most people look to Europe or maybe Japan. But anyone truly immersed in the global scene knows Saigon Scooter Centre. Since the late 90s, this exceptional manufacturer from Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, has been a household name for Vespa and Lambretta enthusiasts around the world.
What makes Saigon Scooter Centre stand out? Clearly, it's the combination of passion, attention to detail, and a flair for the unconventional. The team led by founder Pat Joynt lives and breathes scooter culture – and you can feel that in every single product.

Lots of passion, no compromises

For classics and modern machines
Whether you want to restore your Lambretta Series 1 to its former glory or give your Vespa GTS a personal touch, SSC has something for both worlds. Their range includes classic trims and custom seats as well as modern LED taillights and performance parts for everyday use.
And the best part? You can get many of their products directly from us at Scooter Center. So you don't have to travel halfway around the world to bring a piece of Vietnam into your garage.
