Vespa is an iconic Italian brand of scooters and mopeds manufactured by Piaggio since 1946, known for their classic steel-body design and modern mobility solutions.
Vespa is a world-renowned Italian brand of scooters and mopeds manufactured by Piaggio. Founded in 1946 in Pontedera, Italy, Vespa transformed personal mobility with its unique pressed-steel unibody design, which protects the engine and rider from dirt and grease. The name 'Vespa'—Italian for 'wasp'—was coined by Enrico Piaggio upon hearing the buzzing sound of the prototype engine.
Today, Vespa produces a wide range of scooters that blend vintage aesthetics with modern technology, including the Primavera, Sprint, GTS, and the electric Vespa Elettrica. The brand has evolved into a global lifestyle icon, symbolizing Italian style and freedom. In addition to actual motor scooters, the Vespa brand licenses its design for various consumer products, including popular electric ride-on toys for children and high-end accessories.
