In 2022, scooters can be found anywhere that riders are looking for practical, relatively inexpensive everyday transportation. It all had to start somewhere, though—and the birthplace of scooters, as every fan knows deep in their bones, is Italy. Without the rise of Vespa and Lambretta, scooters as a form of two-wheeled transportation simply wouldn’t exist in the same way they do today.
That’s why the Vespa Club Milano and Lambretta Club Milano came together to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the birth of Italian scooter culture. On April 29, 2022, the two clubs will host a special cultural event called “Scooter, il Mito,” (Scooter, the Myth) celebrating the rise and influence of Italian scooters and culture at the European Institute of Design (IED) in Milan.
