Our Vespa sale has a great selection of scooter styles, from zippy urban scooters in colors like cherry red and midnight blue to stately, tricked-out rides like the GTV 250.</p> <p>Riding a Vespa is a lifestyle choice that tells the world you embrace freedom and fun.  Still made in Pontedera, Italy after over 60 years, Vespas are the most coveted scooters in the marketplace thanks to their unmistakable look and time-honored reputation. First launched in 1886 as a luxury ship, truck, and train outfitter, Vespa’s parent company Piaggio introduce its first motorized scooter at the end of World War I as a way to bring a low-cost mode of transport to the masses—and thus the legend was born. These days, the celeb-beloved brand offers eight different vintage styles, from the sleek, zippy S 50 4V to the tricked-out GTV 300, which comes in espresso and portofino green and gets up to speeds of 75 miles per hour.</p>
