reinventing wheels: Reinventing a Vespa - When people hear the Italian word Vespa, itâs instantly associated with the brand.The word actually means âwaspâ and was used by Enrico Piaggio for his scooters when they first appeared in 1942, mainly because of their appearance and the buzzing noise that was produced by the humble two stroke engines. Tougher emission laws and the push to âgo greenâ have made it increasingly difficult for owners to maintain their retro rides on the roads of today. Instead of sending rusty Vespaâs to the trash pile, I have found a more creative solution: turn the Italian icons into functional pieces of designer furniture!
