The Essential Elite Pannier

Elite panniers are one of the most sought after 1980s Vespa scooter accessories around.  A favourite of the eighties scooterists attending rallies, or just for day-to-day practicality. The originals are highly sought after, rare and therefore too expensive for the average scooterist.

​

AWOL products have replicated the original panniers using a CAD designed injection-mold, based on an authentic set and reproduced them at an affordable price.

​

We've then improved the panniers by manufacturing from UV-proof and paintable toughened plastic. The corners have been thickened slightly to add to their robustness.  The original silver sticker that went around the middle (which was often easily damaged) has been replaced by a retro inspired aluminium strip.

​

The frame has kept the same design, but improved by making them thicker walled and crafted from Marine-grade stainless steel rather than chromed steel. They come with a quick release locking mechanism for easy removal and handles for easy carriage. 

​

The aim of AWOL is to replicate scooter parts and accessories that are no longer available through new stock.
