Vespa is an Italian line of scooters produced by Piaggio.
Piaggio focused on producing aircraft during World War I. Unfortunately during World War II, their fighter plane plant was demolished by bombing. As a result, the son of Piaggio's founder decided to create a modern and affordable mode of transportation for the masses which eventually lead to the creation of Vespa.

Think Vespa is not that common in Singapore... but do know that the founder of Perlini's Silver has one! (Roberto Perlini lives in S'pore)Guess Vespa caters to a niche market?
ReplyDeleteWith classic shape and colours,i think this is an important factor to attract people's interest as well as attention to the products and the brand itself.
ReplyDeleteI didn't quite recognized the brand until I saw the pictures of the scooters. Yes, I agree with wenhui that the classic shape and colours attract people's interest, because that is the factor that captures my attention.
ReplyDeleteThe rise and what keep Vespa going nowadays might be due to the vintage and retro trend that most people are currently undergoing. It is famous for their scooters with flat floorboards and a huge single head light. A combination of simple design and classic colours and definitely one of the treasures of italy.
