Scooters Piaggio Vespa: libros - historia y modelos (2/5)

Vespa - Alle Motorroller seit 1946 (Typenkompass)

The first Vespa, which came onto the market in 1946, was called "Paperino" (duck), had a displacement of 98 cm³ and a maximum speed of 60 km/h. Its inventor was Corradino D'Ascanio.
The original Vespa 98" was supposed to be simple and economical. The drive and power transmission in particular were to be as simple as possible and so he opted for direct drive, especially since chain drive was almost impossible at the time due to a lack of materials. The ingeniously simple concept was then patented under the name Vespa on April 23 1946. The rest is scooter history!

Each type is presented with the help of a photo, a historical description and technical data.

Vespa - Die Geschichte des Kultklassikers

Enrico Piaggio certainly did not envisage that the construction called Vespa, born out of necessity, would one day achieve cult status when he launched the mother of all scooters, the Vespa 98, in 1946.
But the worldwide triumph of the economical and easy-to-ride two-wheeler was unstoppable from then on - a popularity that continues to this day.

Günther Uhlig tells the story of the Vespa from its beginnings to the present day. As one of the best Vespa experts on the subject, he has a lot to say about the triumph of the scooter from Italy and the countless types and models that have appeared to date.

Vespa Granturismo - Die großen Vespas: GT, GTS und GTV

With the Vespa GTS series introduced in 2003, the successful Italian scooter manufacturer Piaggio said goodbye to beloved design principles such as air cooling, foot brakes and manual transmission. Only the external design is reminiscent of its predecessors.
What initially looked like a risk for the traditional manufacturer continued the Vespa's success story. In Germany in particular, the GTS models lead the registration statistics.

Günther Uhlig tells the story of the Vespa Granturismo from its beginnings to today. With the help of 200 unique photos, the reader experiences the triumph of the GTS series first hand.

Vespa mi amore

In the beginning, the Vespa was just a practical, frugal car replacement. But then came the Swinging Fifties and movies in which a Vespa played a major role - and today they are more popular than ever.

Lutz-Ulric Kubisch and Günther Uhlig tell the history and stories of and about the little things with the knobbly wheels: a loving homage to unmatched classics that became trendsetters, copied many times - but never equaled.

This completely revised, updated and 32-page-extended Vespa chronicle pays tribute to all Vespas, tells of technology, cult, kitsch - and offers countless great photos.

Vespa: Das offizielle Buch - Alle Modelle seit 1945

Small, nimble and often painted in candy colors: anyone who sees a Vespa on the streets recognizes it immediately. Since 1945, the cult two-wheeler has been traveling around the world in a triumphant march that continues to this day.
The iconic Vespa design was more of a pragmatic nature: the motorcycle had to be practical, economical and affordable, as well as maneuverable, just the thing on the potholed post-war roads.

Davide Mazzanti has documented the entire history of the Italian cult brand in an incomparable illustrated book. From the first prototype to today, all Vespa scooters and models have been captured in fascinating photos, many of them specially for this book. A must for every Vespa fan!

This manufacturer-authorized brand history of Vespa from 1945 to 2018 brings together all Vespa models, including the Vespa Ape, Vespa Primavera and Vespa GTS 250. Many never-before-seen Vespa pictures and many unique documents from the Piaggio factory archive.
