How It’s Made – Vespa scooter

Last month the Science Channel’s popular show How It’s Made visited the Vespa factory in Pontedera, Italy to show us how the worlds best scooter is made. In case you missed the show, I finally tracked down the video which can be viewed below. The quality, styling, and history of a Vespa is unmatched! No wonder they boast the highest resale and highest consumer report ratings of any scooter on the market.

“AMA Video: The All American Rejects talk (Vespa) scooters”

I just ran across this video with the guys from the band The All American Rejects talking about their love of riding scooters. It sounds like they have quite a few scooters including a couple Vespa’s (of course). I really like how in the video he says other than writing and playing music, he is happiest when he is riding his scooter.  There are so many benefits to owning and riding a scooter, but hands down the biggest benfit I see is the FUN FACTOR.

Swing by Vespa Lexington this weekend and let us show you how much FUN comes with scooter ownership.

United States Patent – Three-Wheel Rolling Vehicle With Front Two-Wheel Steering

While we are on the subject of Piaggio’s awesome three wheeled MP3 scooter today, I wanted to post something really cool I ran across on the Google Patents. It’s the United States Patent for Piaggio’s MP3. With two wheels in the front and one in the back, the Piaggio MP3 is an amazing ride and a definite head turner. Check it out below, and you can view the actual patent here.

If you want to check out a very ON POINT review of the MP3 check out this review from Scooter In The Sticks.

Ferrari F1 team scooter is a Piaggio MP3

Michael’s brother sent him a great photo of the Ferrari F1 team scooter which happens to be a red Piaggio MP3! I am not really surprised that Ferrari’s team scooter would be a Piaggio MP3. It’s really so fitting, I always tell customers the Vespa/Piaggio is the Ferrari of scooters. The companies are very similar (apparently Enzo Ferrari is President of Piaggio Aero Industries) ; they have a rich history, both are Italian companies, both are considered style icons, both are known for quality and performance, and both brands are luxury goods. The biggest difference between the two brands is that a Ferrari starts at $280,000 while a Piaggio scooter starts at only $1,999 (Fly) and a Vespa starts at only $3,500 (S 50). When it comes to Italian luxury you can’t beat the price points on a new Vespa and Piaggio.

Swing by this week, take advantage of some great savings, and let us show you how fun and easy it is to do business with Vespa Lexington.

Weekend Ride – Sunday August 30th

Our buddies Mike and Fred have put together another ride taking place on August 30th. The ride will leave out of Lexington and travel to Richmond. Check out the details below, also make sure to check out the short video and photo of the last ride everyone took from Vespa Lexington out to Midway. I think we had a total of 17 scooters on that ride. If you don’t have a scooter and want to join in on the fun, swing by Vespa Lexington this week and take advantage of all these awesome deals we got going on right now.

“On August the 30th there will be a Renactment of the Battle of Richmond at the battle site. We are planning to ride from Lexington to the battle site. We will gather at the Starbucks on Boston Road at 11:30 and depart at 12:00. On the ride we will cross the river via the Valley View Ferry (if it is in operation). To be able to ride you will have to be able to sustain 45 mph for extended times. Also on the return trip, after we cross the river there is substantial hill to climb. The trip will require at least a 150cc scooter. We recommend that you bring your camera.

NOTE: There is a $5.00 entrance fee. Reenactment Starts @ 2:00

Will Stop For Lunch In Richmond.

The Battle of Richmond, KY occurred August 29-30,1862. It was the most complete Confederate Victory of the American Civil War. The states of Indiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Ohio, Texas, Kentucky,Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan and Florida all had soldiers who fought and died in the fields of Madison County, KY on those terrible days.”


thanks Carl for the video
