What is Vespanomics?

Posted on October 8, 2007. Filed under: Uncategorized |

VESPANOMICS…what the heck is that? It’s about four very simple things, but four things that could also have a dramatic impact on your wallet, your environment, and your quality of life.

Saving Gas

Commuters rely heavily on their cars, trucks, and SUV’s, and this means tossing anywhere from 30 dollars to 70 dollars in the gas tank, sometimes two or three times a week. That can eat up a paycheck really quick, not too mention pushing the demand for oil ever upward. Compare those dollars to the cents it takes to fill up a scooter, and the scooter will go just as long in between fill-ups. Now that IS good sense. Imagine the savings for your pocket, not to mention for the planet!

Reducing Emissions

Emissions? What emissions? Virtually none, if your tooling around town and blasting down the highways on a scooter. Folks are finally acknowledging the real damage that is being done to the quality of our air and environment, and nod sympathetically to the newscaster on their radios while they blast down the freeway in an SUV equipped with only one passenger.

Reducing Traffic Congestion

That is, until that same SUV comes to a screeching halt in traffic packed with other single passenger drivers. Hey, we’re not knocking individualism here. So why not take up less room, let the wind rip through your hair, and enjoy the ride. A scooter can squeeze through tight traffic and the rider is the envy of the rest of the herd, frozen at a standstill. Imagine the difference it would make to the jam packed highways and city streets if just one in ten people opted to commute on a scooter in the US.

Saving Face

…And imagine the envious looks of passerbys, and not just because of Vespa scooters‘ ability to wind easily through traffic. They are the perfect fashion statement; their retro classic Italian styling says it all. Embrace the look and feel of high level Eurpoean style, and people will turn heads. The scooter’s look is timeless. Forget expensive repair bills needed to keep your regular car or truck running; it won’t turn heads like a Vespa or Piaggio classic Italian scooter!

Vespanomics, it makes sense!
