When Enrico Piaggio saw the first prototype of a new machine
for economical transport in the late 1940's, as designed by his
chief aeronautical engineer and stylish designer he, we are
told, said "this looks like a wasp". Nearly 60 years later this
is still the case.
The 150cc Scooter
nowadays not only looks like a wasp ('vespa' in Italian) but is
called just that. Modern technology has inspired many changes
in the mechanics of these machines, but most of these cannot be
seen.
Automatic transmission, even sleeker Italian lines, much
better fuel economy and a top speed of around 60mph make this
scooter something other than the run-of-the-mill two wheeled
vehicle we often see. It's quieter, more stylish and is
something of a cult in many places in the world.
More and more people in the U.S.A. are discovering that
scooters in general and 150cc scooters in particular
are a way to cut out the traffic jams on the way to work. Not
only are they cheap to buy but also are very cheap to run. Not
many 4 wheel vehicles are capable of 75mpg whilst also being
capable of sliding round the traffic jams.
In the rest of the world scooters have been around for ages.
In Europe (particularly their Italian home); in India; in the
Far East and in the other continents millions of people have
discovered this comfortable, reliable, stylish and safe form of
transport. They can be found in practically any country on
earth. They are even getting very 'big' in China, where people
of the more modern Chinese age are now able to afford to throw
away their bicycles and take the motorised road. Nowadays they
manufacture them for both the home market and for export, with
major private industrialists Geely prominent in the export
market.
For many scooter owners, particularly if they live in towns,
the economical smaller-engined 49cc scooter is great for
getting around, especially in cities with bad traffic
congestion. Whether you are in Bangkok or New York, London,
Rome, Madrid or Manila, these classy machines get you about
town quickly and cheaply.
However if you live out of town and want to get to work
inexpensively and have a bit of fun at the same time you may
find that the 150cc scooter with its higher top speed is for
you. Retaining all the benefits of its smaller engine capacity
relations, the extra 'Oomph' of the 150 engine, along with
automatic transmission, means acceleration is smooth and
rapid.
The 150cc Wasp scooter of today, with its four-stroke
engine, heavy-duty front disc brakes and many other modern
features is really easy to ride. Its aggressive looks suite its
name whilst obviously being part of 21st Century
technology.
The 'wasp' today would, most people agree, be looked upon
with great favour by its originators. The original design has
lasted 60 years, and the technological innovations of this time
have been carefully incorporated into the machines we ride
today. Enrico Piaggio and his chief aero-designer D'Ascanio
would be justly proud of the changes to their original machine
to keep up with developments, style and safety.
