 Why
promote scooter travel? Somehow our society has come to embrace large,
expensive, and less fuel efficient vehicles. Even motorcycles have become less
practical as they get more outrageous with huge engines. Consequently, scooters
have become one of the last motor vehicles that's still easily affordable to
purchase.

The scooter
- the short history of a cultural icon
The scooter was invented in 1947 as a low cost alternative to the
automobile in war-ravaged Europe ?it was designed as transport for the masses
and it caught on so quickly that it became one of the great transport phenomena
to sweep the world in the 20th century. The Vespa was the result of Enrico Piaggio's determination to create a viable
alternative to the automobile for the masses. As the war drew to a close, Enrico
studied every possible solution to get production in his plants going again.
