More than 60 years after they were created, Vespas inspire a devoted following among an international scooter-loving subculture. Vintage Vespas and retro remakes are lined up for club meetings, day-long rides and even long-distance runs. Niche magazines cater to the Vespa enthusiast, and decades-old scooters are sent to restoration experts to be returned to their original glory.
The Vespa is one of the world's oldest scooters. Created in Italy by Piaggio, the Vespa was designed to provide an economical method of transportation during Europe's recovery from World War II. Because its small size worked well within the confines of the city, many Italians took full advantage of these easy-to-ride scooters. The Vespa inspired other manufacturers to produce similar models, helping build the scooter's worldwide popularity. Vespa holds an iconic presence within the scooter community, with newer models being produced and older examples holding a high value.

Scooters are convenient. Navigating city traffic and tight urban streets is a lot easier on a scooter than in an SUV, and parking is no problem. For those living in rural areas, a scooter is a great way to make relatively short trips. They’re easier to ride than a motorcycle, and the body panels ensure that clothes aren’t likely to be splashed with mud and road dirt!!
Get the facts!! Did you know that if Americans were to switch just 10% of their total mileage to scooters, in one day they would:
- save roughly $50 million on gas
- consume 14 million gallons less fuel
- reduce CO2 emissions by 324 million pounds
