"Cool Scooter for bombing around the city."

Description

This is a rather rare variant of the mass-produced 125 Popolinon. A 75-kilo variant that was developed to fit the 1960s Swedish weight limit for 16-year-olds. This particular example is probably one of the few left in a fairly pristine condition. It has largely survived with only one repaint from red to blue early in its life. The Vespa is 4-speed and works great. The engine has good traction and it shifts easily and of course very pleasant to ride, it is a Vespa after all. The Popolinon is delivered newly serviced and the clutch has been newly replaced.

Facts about the model

Bakgrunden till Vespa var att Piaggio var tvungna att lämna flygplanstillverkningen efter andra världskriget. Ny tillverkning behövde komma till som ersättning. Enrico Piaggio hade i ett tidigt skede sett behovet av ett billigt och enkelt fortskaffningsmedel i ett Europa under återuppbyggnad.

Den första Vespan, Vespa 98, kom ut på marknaden 1946. Den hade en motor på 98 kubik och hade en toppfart upp mot 60 km i timmen. Den var konstruerad av Corradino D’Ascanio på uppdrag av Enrico Piaggio. Den skulle vara enkel, sparsam och enkel att köra. D’Ascanio hade tidigare verkat som konsult angående skoterkonstruktion och tillverkning för Ferdinando Innocenti. En första prototyp hade tagits fram av Renzo Spolti och Vittorio Casini och fått smeknamnet Paperino. Vespan fick sitt namn på grund av sin form med en bredare bakre del. När Enrico Piaggio väl såg denna utropade han "Sembra una vespa!" Den ser ut som en Vespa!" som betyder geting.

Vespan började tillverkas 1946 då 2484 exemplar lämnade fabriken och 1948 tillverkades 19 822 stycken Vespor. Produktionen växte snabbt och inom några år såldes Vespa i 114 länder och tillverkning skedde i 13 länder. Piaggio tillverkade 1959 en specialmodell för Sverige. En 125'a som döptes till "Popolino", som just den här Vespan är. Färgen var ljusbeige. Man lättade den till 75 kg eftersom den då fick köras av 16-åringar.

1960 fick Popolino främre stötdämpare och röd lack.
