Italian industrial designer Giulio Iacchetti gives a nod to the original 1946 Vespa with his concept for a sleek, minimalist electric bike. The beloved Italian scooter is reimagined as the Vespampère, with Iacchetti linking past and present for a forward-thinking vehicle designed for better riding in urban environments. Overall, Iacchetti has put an interesting twist on the Vespa, a classically Italian scooter born from the necessity for affordable transportation in post-World War II Italy. Italian industrial designer Giulio Iacchetti has created a Vespa concept called Vespampère, which features an electric motor.

I'm not so sure I'll be lusting after the Portofino GTV that I recently fell in love with. I guess my shoes have been trying to tell me something. I'm not so sure I'll be lusting after the Portofino GTV that I recently fell in love with. basically a 40's style hot rod paint job, flat black with red wheels and white wall, and pinstriping, which i dont' know how to draw so i faked it. i think you get the idea though Ohhh, that looks cool, like this one as well.
Indian industrial design firm Mightyseed has reimagined the classic Vespa scooter in a new, sleek concept. By carefully studying the history of the Vespa's design, Mightyseed was able to bring their unique perspective to the bike while paying respect to the past. This modern Vespa uses a lidar system instead. Though it's just a concept, the Vespa 98 shows the incredible design possibilities achieved by looking at the past while designing for the future. This reimagined version of the classic Vespa has sleek, modern touches.

I've noticed several new radiator patents (currently, none by Piaggio) that indicate to me a forthcoming change to the idea that radiators need to be a big flat panel that sits just behind the front wheel. With new radiator technology Vespas can have water-cooled fuel-injected 250cc engines and still re-create the original clean look of the classic styles.

A set of motorbike concepts which combine rétro design elements with modern technologies, including a KTM Café Racer/Scrambler, a Ducati sportsbike and a reintepretation of the Vespa scooter. In this page we publish a series of motorcycle concepts created by Daniele Pesaresi, a former designer at Bonetto and Italdesign studios. These bikes are part of a design research which combines rétro elements with modern technologies giving birth to concepts deeply grounded into reality. The KTM Cafè Racer originates from the union of these concepts. The result is a chopper-like Vespa, with a tear-drop shaped rear end and a slightly rearward-sloping seat.

The Vespa concept store is a testament to architectural efficiency infused with Vespa’s iconic design principles. It reimagines the space, creating a fluid layout around a central architectural element defined by Vespa-inspired curves. This element serves a dual role, functioning as a storage solution while also acting as an architectural divider, seamlessly demarcating distinct areas within the store. While the central focus remains on architectural efficiency and modern design, subtle elements are incorporated that draw inspiration from the brand identity. With this renovation, not only is the store revitalized, but the entire Vespa experience is reimagined.
The iconic scooter, which was designed by Corradino D’Ascanio and released by Piaggio in 1946, is beloved the world over. Mightyseed’s electrifying concept reimagines the classic scooter as a modern battery-powered ride. More from Robb ReportMightyseed Electric VespaThe gas-guzzling engine of yore has been replaced by a 30 aH lithium-ion battery and hub-mounted motor. “The Vespa 98 project was an in-house self-initiated project and the inspiration was Corradino D’Ascanio’s adored Vespa,” Mightyseed’s co-founder and principal designer, Bonny Sunny, told Robb Report. “We added the flavor to look relevant for modern times.”The firm didn’t divulge whether this Vespa will roll into production.
While there’s no denying that Corradino D’Ascanio’s original Vespa design is an industrial design icon for the ages, iterating on that design to bring it into the future in no way diminishes the original’s value. “What about the Vespa Elettrica?” If the electric scooter revolution has shown us anything, it’s that there’s room for far more than just one electric scooter. Gallery: Vespa 98 Electric Concept by Mightyseed 5Mightyseed’s Vespa 98 is not your father’s Italian scooter. It’s the Vespa of the future giving you massive side-eye for ever doubting it could upshift like this. Like many electric scooters, it features a hub-mounted motor at the rear wheel.
