Our new city-transport: Orange, 50cc, 4-stroke, 4-valve, 100kg, 60kph on wheels with white-wall tires zig-zag ‘hey let me through’ zoom goodness!
It looks kinda classic, but the engine’s regulated by a small computer and I don’t ever have to mix in oil with my fuel like the old ones. Just pour in regular gasoline at the gas station and off we go.
Did you know Vespa’s have their wheels attached on one side? It’s something they inherit from Piaggio’s original occupation: building airplanes.
This bike has a light engine, but in urban areas it feels agile and quick, like riding an oversized wasp, hence the name!
