Here is my Vespa, Piaggio Ape. Had it a few years now. Had a top speed of 25mph when standard. After many hours of engine work and machining, its a little quicker now. Great for taking bikes for MOT. Fun little machine.

Is that right? 60mph of buzzing, shaking, vibrating LOVELINESS.. Haha
Some would say why not stick a bigger engine in there rather than do all that work .. But that's not the point, it would be almost cheating?
Bet it's a hoot. Brilliant _________________ We are where we are... |

Hi Andy,
as mad as a box of frogs, I love it!
I remember seeing one custom built as a camper van a few years ago, perfect for us little people. _________________ Kindest regards

It is a 130cc after the rebuild. Four badly spaced gear, so it drops out of power when going into top
Yes its load and shakeing inside,but its fun.
Messing with engines is fun and stops any bordem. |
