The gymkana is a test of skill with obstacles placed in specially marked areas. It consists of a course with various difficulties to be tackled in the shortest possible time without committing penalties that, in part, reproduce the difficulties that the Vespa rider might encounter on everyday roads: for example, small jumps, transferring objects (moving rings, bottles or other) from one place to another, poles or pins to be tackled at speed, inversions, slaloms, bridges to cross and more. It is a very fun discipline that requires skill and good training.

The Vespa gymkhana was practically born with the Vespa itself, from the end of the years it participated in the motorbike gymkhana surprising the motorbike competitors with its great agility.
