Blade Piaggio Vespa

In 1944, Piaggio engineers Renzo Spolti and Vittorio Casini designed a motorcycle with bodywork fully enclosing the engine, handlebar-mounted controls and small diameter wheels. Officially known Moto Piaggio no. 5 nicknamed 'duckling' or 'Paperino' in Italian. The following year the ''MP6 prototype'' was created, upon seeing the 'MP6' for the first time Enrico Piaggio exclaimed: "Sembra una vespa!" ("It resembles a wasp!") Piaggio effectively named his new scooter on the spot!

From that day Piaggio have continued to manufacture the world most innovative and stylish scooters and small bikes, dominating the market.
