Vespino it’s not in the ciao family


Vespino is a moped , designed by the Salamanca engineer Vicente Carranza and manufactured entirely in Madrid , Spain , which began to be manufactured in 1968 by the company Moto Vespa SA , founded in 1952 by Enrico Piaggio, with the help of Banco Urquijo. Vespino has more than 20 different models.


"L" model (Luxury) from 1968,


" GL " (Grand Luxury) from 1973,


" SC " (Super Comfort) from 1980,


" ALX " (reed intake) from 1985, 

mod XE (electric starter)

" NL " (New Look) from 1990,

" F-9 " from 1992,


1995 " VELOFAX ", 



and the last 1999 " F-18 " 
model to be manufactured. 
After almost 30 years of production and 1,800,000 units manufactured. It is that after the undeniable success of the Vespa in Italy and other countries, Piaggio decided to land in Spain, specifically in a Madrid factory located in the Ciudad Lineal neighborhood. The first of these mythical motorcycles was manufactured in it, a 125cc that would give way to many more.
However, at the end of the 60s, users demanded cheap solutions for their mobility. The Seat 600 has become the best-selling utility vehicle and has allowed Spanish families to have cars, when a few years before most did not have that option.
Talking about the Vespino is talking about the youth of hundreds of Spanish bikers (and from other countries to which it was exported), since for a little over three decades it was the "initiation bike" for many of them.
 

The Vespa story begins in the aftermath of WW II in Italy. The economy was left crippled and the roads were in a disastrous state which made it difficult for the automobile and other manufacturers to reemerge.
