Scooters tried to one-up the Italian competition

Folding varieties can be folded up and conveniently stored under desks, in closets or in other tiny areas and utility types are used for many different purposes. Why the great success? During this period the European countries didn't have a great deal RV component of money and there was not much gas available to the public. In France they became so popular the French tried to get in on the boom by manufacturing their own. It has been just a little over 50 years since the Vespa-Douglas Corporation in the UK sold their first gas scooters. France's Roussey Scooters tried to one-up the Italian competition by coming out with a 175cc model. Vespa began marketing a couple of very popular gas powered scooters from Piaggio, the GS 125cc and the GS 150cc. These were improved versions of the earlier models for several reasons. From 1950 to 1958 Vespa sold over 125,000 of their gas powered scooters in the UK. As these wonderful vehicles have evolved over the years they have become increasingly more popular all over the world.
