Vespa Retro Coming to Market

December 3rd, 2011 by Zachary Shahan

Our Vespa giveaway post was quite popular, and I’m actually a pretty big fan of these things, even though I’m generally not that into motorized vehicles in general, so here’s a post from sister site Gas2 on a pretty green retro Vespa you might be interested in:

About a half century ago one of these was my only motorized form of transportation. Certainly didn’t have laptops, but it did get around just fine with me, a girlfriend and a couple bags of groceries.

One night it was stolen and we jumped in a friend’s car, spotted it zooming around campus with three large guys aboard.

So I’d say, yes, they can carry your load.

Would a heavy laptop or at least 30 pounds of groceries fit on this?
