When you hear the word “scooter,” chances are Vespa is one of the first things to come to mind. The Italian scooter brand transformed itself from a post-war solution to personal mobility to a lifestyle icon and status symbol. Today’s Vespas aren’t so much about getting around in no-frills practicality, but instead, making a statement and turning heads wherever they go.
Sure, at the end of the day, Vespas are still two-wheelers decked out in the practical accouterments associated with scooters, however, their premium price tag and cutting-edge features clearly set them apart from the rest. You know what else sets Vespas apart from other scooters? Their styling. Indeed, you can tell a Vespa is a Vespa even from afar thanks to its flowing bodywork, sleek lines, and vibrant colors. That said, recent years have ushered in a number of wannabe Vespas, copycats, if you would, trying to ride on the Italian brand’s iconic aesthetic.
