Vespa Motor ScootersPrior to manufacturing motor scooters, Piaggio was a leader in Italian transportation, and produced rail carriages, luxury coaches, and train cars. The plan was destroyed in World War II by the Allied forces due to its military important to the Axis. But the plant did not allow the bombing to be the end of its story, and after the War it rebuilt and began designing and manufacturing motor scooters. In fact, an engineer there designed what has become the modern view of the motor scooter, and that is why scooters have become synonymous with Vespa and vice versa. The engineer was Corradino D’Ascanio, and he hated motorcycles, but the transportation needs of western Europe in general and Italy in particular made motorcycles more practical and cheaper. Ten years after the first Vespa was designed, there were over one million Vespa motor scooters produced. After that, Vespa motor scooters just grew in popularity, and while there are now many different models and styles, not to mention copy cats from different companies, the basic design and purpose of Vespa motor scooters has never changed.

One of the most popular Vespa motor scooters is the Granturismo. It has a remarkably powerful engine that allows the rider to accelerate quickly and pull away from sticky traffic situations. It has the same slick look and metallic finish of the original Vespa, so people who want classical lines and modern power can be happy. Reasonable priced below six thousand dollars, it is a great alternative mode of transportation, especially with the higher price of gasoline. These scooters will probably grow in popularity across the nation, and while they may not be comfortable during winter months, more of the larger, off-road models will be able to handle winter driving.
