Bianco Justin Bieber x Vespa: Celebrating Style & Design
The Bieber-Vespa creation isn’t just another scooter. It’s a fusion of style, design, and fun, aptly called the Vespa Sprint 150 Justin Bieber x Vespa. Announced with an aura of anticipation, this all-white Vespa Sprint boasts a flame motif just above the rear wheel, adding a unique edge to the otherwise monochrome look, a design aesthetic Bieber himself holds dear.

Pop culture and youth culture have always been at the heart of Vespa, making this collaboration with Bieber, a style and design enthusiast, an exciting adventure. The singer, known for his love for sports like skateboarding, hockey, basketball, and BMX, reveals his excitement to lend his unique spin on the iconic Italian design of Vespa. And what better way to do that than through a scooter that mirrors his eclectic style and love for speed and grace?
Justin Bieber and Vespa: Two Global Icons, One Exciting Collaboration
Fans of Bieber’s art and style will undoubtedly be thrilled by this collaboration. The singer’s passion for Pop art and streetwear is well-known, a sentiment reflected in the Vespa design. In 2019, Bieber and his wife, Hailey, auctioned off 17 contemporary pieces for charity. His love for art also extends to his Instagram, where he often shares peeks of his Kaws plush toys and Takashi Murakami pieces. Bieber also founded the streetwear brand Drew House, further cementing his influence in fashion and design.
Vespa’s History of Artistic Collaborations
This isn’t Vespa’s first venture into the world of art and design collaborations. They’ve previously teamed up with sneaker designer Sean Wotherspoon to design a Primavera 50 Vespa. High-fashion brands like Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior have also lent their unique aesthetics to the Italian scooter brand.

Available in three different engine sizes (50cc, 125cc, and 150cc), the Justin Bieber Vespa caters to a range of preferences. Whether you crave a more leisurely ride at 40 mph or a speedier sprint at 70 mph, there’s an engine for you. Reservations for these highly sought-after scooters began in April, and they’ve been selling like hotcakes ever since.
But it’s not just about the scooter itself. Bieber has also designed a few matching accessories, including gloves, a bag, and an all-white helmet featuring the white flames motif. Every detail of this collaboration screams style and exclusivity.
