Piaggio and Vespa retailers across the UK have joined forces with TRACKER Network UK to provide free TRACKER devices with all brand-new Vespa GTS 300, Piaggio Beverly 300 and Beverly 350 scooters purchased from authorised Piaggio and Vespa dealerships between August 1 and October 31 this year.

Customers who buy a new Vespa GTS 300, Piaggio Beverly 300 and Beverly 350 between those two dates will get their new scooter equipped with one of TRACKER’s SVR units for free and will also receive their first year’s subscription to TRACKER’s monitoring service completely free of charge.

Piaggio Group is also pleased to announce that it is working with Lexham Insurance to support this promotion and customers will receive a 10% discount for fitting and activating TRACKER Monitor. This discount is irrespective of postcode area and will be applied upon confirmation that the vehicle is equipped with one of TRACKER’s devices. T&Cs apply.

Mark Knight, country manager of Piaggio Limited, said: “We’re aiming to provide a product and service that reduces our customers’ insurance costs with Lexham, our insurance partner, while offering an additional layer of customer security protection.”

Greig Hilton, managing director at TRACKER, added: “Although analysis of our recovery data confirms that London and Greater London remain the hot spots for two-wheeler thieves, opportunist criminals can and do strike anywhere and everywhere across the UK. It’s essential that Vespa and Piaggio owners recognise the importance of good security measures, which will not only project their pride and joy but the financial and emotional loss that comes as a result of theft.”
