original Vespa 50 R, from Italy, old Italian registration number is still with the scooter, now registered with Dutch moped registration. Originally, Piaggio was a (war) aircraft manufacturer that was no longer allowed to build aircraft after World War II. After all, Italy had colluded with the Germans. Therefore, the Piaggio management decided to transform their production line into a scooter factory.In 1946, Piaggio became famous for producing scooters named Vespa (wasp).Many aircraft parts were initially used. For instance, the front wheel was the nose wheel of earlier aircraft, the engine was a modified starter motor, etc. Soon these scooters - designed by Corradino d'Ascanio - became popular in post-war Italy, where there was a great need for simple means of transport. Vespa thus became a brand name.
