General Information [ ]Vespa 150 TAP is one of The Legendary War Artifacts, that can be stored and displayed at Museum. Historical Description [ ]Motor scooters may not ordinarily be associated with warfare, but the Vespa 150 TAP is an exception. The French military needed some form of mobile light artillery to help quell colonial uprisings in the 1950s. The TAP was intended to be airdropped in pairs, fully assembled, alongside two paratroopers. Bizarre as it may seem, the TAP turned out to be an effective anti-guerrilla weapon for French troops fighting in Algeria and Indochina.

I even think she has some resemblance to the Vespa that’s in my garage, the T5. 'The dazzling chrome looking bits are a beautiful touch'The ride feels very similar to a model produced earlier, the Vespa LX 150. I see the similarities under the hood, if you will, but the Vespa S is so much more; or to confuse things, so much less. Also on the topic of less, the price of the Vespa S is less than that of the LX 150. Unlike the others in the Vespa line-up, the Vespa S trades the bulkier glove box for a thin profile leg shield and a pair of catch-all trays.
And if we’re going by the most perniciousness per pound, no tech tops the tiny military scooter French paratroopers briefly (and successfully) employed in the 1950s. Absurdly, the Vespa 150 TAP (Troupes Aéroportées; airborne troops) was based on the updated version of the goofy and gutless civilian Italian motor scooter seen in the 1952 movie Roman Holiday.
