Based
on one of the classic designs in two-wheeled history, the new
Vespa harkens back to a time long before disc brakes and liquid-cooling,
both of which it features. Unlike nearly every other scooter
in production, the ET4's gorgeous bodywork is made of steel,
not plastic. The 150cc engine carries a rider and passenger
with surprising alacrity. Piaggio is set to open 'Vespa boutiques'
in several major cities across the country, and hopes to stimulate
as passionate a following of the new machine as that enjoyed
by the original model. The ET4 deserves it. Seat height: 32
inches.
