ORIGIN OF THE VESPA SCOOTER

The Vespa scooter as we know it today originated in Italy. Enrico Piaggio is the founder of the well-known Piaggio brand. The Italian company Piaggio was originally an (war)plane manufacturer, but when it could no longer build aeroplanes after the Second World War, he turned his passion to something else. That was the start of the Piaggio brand, but not yet of the Vespa brand. In 1946 he produced the first Vespa (which means ‘wasp’ in Italian) for the private market. So soon after the war, the Vespa quickly became a symbol of freedom. Over the years the company has moved with the times, which has led to the Vespa scooter being known all over the world today.

 

THE DIFFERENT VESPA SCOOTER MODELS

Vespas are a popular choice among scooter riders, both in the Netherlands and in the rest of the world. They are classic, stylish and a great way to enjoy the open air and a bit of adventure. When buying a Vespa you can choose from several models. Whether you're looking for a classic style or a trendy look, Vespucci has the Vespa that suits you.

Vespa Sprint

The Vespa Sprint scooter is designed specially for city use, with a powerful, small engine and a range of stylish colours. It is a lightweight scooter with a riding position similar to that of a bicycle, which makes it easier to get through narrow alleys and busy streets. The Vespa Sprint is recognisable by its tough, sporty looks: the Sprint has a hexagonal headlight and often comes with sport graphics. The Vespa Sprint is one of the most popular Vespa models thanks to its tough looks and is widely regarded as one of the best scooters for city use.

Vespa Primavera

The Vespa Primavera scooter is known for its timeless retro look and riding comfort. It is therefore no surprise that the new Vespa Primavera from Piaggio from 2021 is so incredibly popular. The Vespa Primavera was developed by Italian designers to give your daily routine an upgrade. The Primavera is recognisable by its classic looks: it has a round headlight and is available in classic colours. This Vespa is also lively on the road and comes with the most advanced technical solutions, and when it comes to stability and road holding, the Primavera Vespa, just like the Vespa Sprint, is unbeatable.

Vespa GTS

The Vespa GTS is a motorcycle-style scooter. This one is known for its big body design and sporty character. The Vespa GTS was developed by an Italian designer to give you an elegant travelling companion with an enchanting and spontaneous character, the kind we have come to expect from Vespa. The new Vespa GTS has undergone a development in both design and technology. The innovative study of materials gives a more refined and elegant feel on the road.

Vespa Elettrica

The Vespa Elettrica is an electrically powered scooter and it is incredibly popular, and not without reason. First of all, it is an environmentally friendly choice, because it produces no emissions and burns no fuel. In addition, the Vespa Elettrica is a very quiet vehicle that is ideal for urban areas. It is also a very practical vehicle, with a long range and plenty of power. Finally, it is a stylish vehicle that makes you look good. In short, the Vespa Elettrica offers many advantages and is a great choice for anyone looking for an environmentally friendly means of transport.
