Post-War Italy, in light of its agreement to cessation of war activities with the Allies, had its aircraft industry severely restricted in both capability and capacity. Piaggio emerged from the war with its Pontedera fighter plane plant demolished by bombing. Italy's enfeebled economy and the disastrous state of the roads did not helpt in the re-development of the automobile markets. Enrico Piaggio, the son of Piaggio's founder Rinaldo Piaggio, decided to leave the aeronautical field in order to address Italy's urgent need for a modern and affordable mode of transportation for the masses. In recent years, many urban commuters have purchased new or restored Vespas. A shortage of available parking for automobiles in large urban areas and the Vespa's low running costs are two reasons for the increase in Vespa (and other scooters) popularity. The cultural use of the scooter as a recreational vehicle with a sub-cultural following in the USA/Canada and parts of Europe & Japan has also contributed to the rise in Vespa ownership. In contrast, the Vespa is considered a utilitarian vehicle for hauling products and sometimes up to 5 family members in much of Asia and Mexico

Technique

"The side-panels were fitted with decorative trim. The gearbox had four speeds. The rear section of the VBB1T version was rounded. The VBB2T version had a squared-off rear end to allow for the fitting of a number plate. The battery was removed from the electrical system. The engine running a 2% oil-fuel mixture was particularly well received thanks to its smoother power delivery. Less coking was also an important advantage. The 8" wheels remained, however, and clients had to move up to the luxurious GL for those with a 10" diameter." (Ref.3)
