Try six wheels in the garage instead
of eight
For over 60 years the passion and practicality of a Vespa has been delighting riders around the globe and showing them the way to traffic freedom. These days switching your ride to a Vespa can save thousands of dollars a year.

Most American families have two cars. But with the ever-rising cost of fuel and other costs associated with car ownership, there’s a far more efficient solution. Make your second vehicle a Vespa. Not only will your gasoline costs be dramatically reduced, but your ownership and operating costs as well.

It takes far less overhead to keep a scooter running than a four-wheeled sedan or SUV. In fact, the operating cost of a Vespa is only 5¢ a mile, while the an SUV is 24¢ a mile.

Annually, the operating and ownership cost of a Vespa is $2000, while an average sedan is $8000 and an SUV’s is nearly $10,500.

So for those short errands, quick trips, or long commutes, subtract two wheels – and gain a lot more savings.
 

6 WHEELS IN YOUR GARAGE SAVINGS.
If you went from 8 wheels in your garage to 6 wheels, here is what your savings could look like.

- Monthly savings of $515 - $709
- Yearly savings of $6200 - $8500

Make YOUR CITIES SCOOTER FRIENDLY.
Piaggio advocates scooter-friendly transportation and infrastructure plans so that more Americans can significantly reduce their transportation budget. To make cities more scooter friendly, we need:

- Simpler scooter licensing laws that acknowledge scooters are valid, easy to operate everyday transportation
- Scooter’s step through design and twist-and-go automatic transmission make them easier to operate than a car – why should a license to operate be so complex?
- Only a valid driver’s license should be required to operate a non-highway scooter under 150cc

- More convenient parking for scooterists
- When seven scooters can fit into a single traditional vehicle parking space, shouldn’t it cost less to park?
- Designate unoccupied areas on streets and sidewalks scooter parking
- H.O.V. lane access for high-way legal scooters
- Legal lane splitting in all 50 states
- Congestion pricing to recognize scooters as a solution to traffic congestion reduction
