Scooters, Bikes & Trikes
This is a modern version of the classic Vespa scooters from the 50’s and 60’s. It has a single cylinder 250cc fuel injected, electronic ignition, four stroke engine. Full twist and go transmission make it extremely easy to ride. On mixed riding in the Peak District it did 70 mpg.
It was great for riding round the Peak District but lacked the power necessary for longer journeys on motorways. I upgraded to the Piaggio 400cc scooter.
The side photo shows the scooter parked in Chatsworth Park with Chatsworth House in the background.
