Everyone loves a Vespa, we know that – but have you ever seen all the shapes and sizes it has gone through to be the most sought after scooter?
We did the test, bought a Vespa, pulled the car into the garage, and with the money we saved on fuel, we paid for our Vespa…it really is that easy.
If you want to stand out, you have to customise your ride, and SuperSport reporter Sias du Plessis has done so with some serious style.
This is one of these life-changing debates…One that will probably never end, check out the pros and cons of having a windshield on your beloved Vespa.
Riding clubs are not new. The image of a leather clad, tattooed and bearded rough-and-tough-looking guy goes with a Harley, but it doesn’t really fit with a scooter… until now!
We usually love to nab prestige from JHB, here in CT, but this is perhaps not the best title to have taken over. This is why it has been taking you so much longer to get around…
So this sounds totally crazy, right? Crazy… maybe; absolutely mind blowingly beautiful along the way: DEFINITELY! This is a must-see…
Do you know what the petrol price is in Cape Town? It’s R13.98 per litre. Do you know what the petrol price is in Jo’burg? R14.39. The consider this: we have no control over the oil price, which is set in dollars, and the Rand to dollar exchange rate stinks worse than a day-three Afrika Burn attendee. Quick heads up: petrol isn’t getting any cheaper, any time soon.
Do you see what’s happening with the weather today? Take a look. Take one damned good look. It’s gone to hell in a handbasket, and there are only a few decent days left. A dozen real stunners, if we’re lucky. You have to make those guys count – in that spirit we’ve put together this […]
The streets of hot spots around the world are filled to the brim with Vespa riders clad in manicured beards, retro glasses and Apple products. Vesparados now have a new accessory – the Vespa styled digital camera.
Internationally renowned Cape Town artist, Richard Scott has chosen the iconic Vespa as the focal point of his latest exhibition, Joyride. An explosion of positive energy, the exhibit’s bold, contemporary artworks pop with colour as they explore the concept of joy as art.
Getting a parking space in central London has become such an impossible task that the Westminster council has decided to begin rolling out smart parking sensors.
An extraordinary man on an extraordinary journey. In March 2011 Drew Milne did what no man has done before him. He embarked on an epic 16 000km, with only a Vespa between him and the open road. His ‘Vescapade’ (it’s a thing you guys!) took him to exotic places like India and Milan.
In its early days, the Vespa was a cheap and efficient way of zipping around bombed-out Rome. Now, it stands atop a multi-billion dollar scooter industry, chosen by the world’s elite because of it’s style and sex appeal. But how did all that happen?
You haven’t started driving on the open road for real unless you’ve overtaken a few trucks, right? If you’re going to drive far, you’re going to get stuck behind trucks – that’s a fact. Problem is you never pass them, because it’s just too hard to see around them..
A somewhat controversial decision this year, you might say – given the upcoming weather for Tuesday and Wednesday. But you simply can’t ignore Sunday’s summer fever, with a repeat of that weather happening today.
Another skyscraper is being added to the London skyline and usually, when this happens, complaints roll in about the view being spoiled, but that’s not entirely the case for the latest addition, dubbed, the ‘Walkie Talkie’. Complaints about this one have to do with melting expensive cars.
This super fun animation, called Vespalogy was created by a French creative agency. It shows the evolution of Vespa over the years. It is excellently colourful, and is accompanied by a fun tune. 1967 is our favourite version, what’s yours?
Just because some crazy people out there love Vespa more than words can say, a video has been created as a tribute video for our entertainment. Nomoon Studio has developed this 01:25 long video that they call a”graphic & groovy retrospective of Vespas from 1943 to 2013.” And they aren’t wrong. Between the awesome interchanging […]

Watch how your petrol saver and traffic dodger, also known as the Vespa, was made. From chassis to its last polish, this is pure beauty in the making.
Vespa scooters are icon’s of style. They’re a design legacy on two wheels, with chrome trimmings and achres of storage space. They’re stylish, sleek, safe, and powerful. And they can also drop wheelies like boss.
If you’re riding the Argus, take a look at this and try not to get excited. It’s a bicycle rack for a Vespa and is apparently “the ultimate accessory for participating in the Argus or riding next to the peloton with a backup bike.”
Look, hard evidence speaks for itself. In a world where petrol prices continue to soar, you simply cannot afford to keep ignoring the amazing affordability of a scooter. Not if you want to keep on choking down those Woolies heat and eat meals you’ve been getting full-figured on. Vespa’s nifty calculator works out how much […]
I lost count how many 2oceansvibers have bought Vespa’s via 2oceansvibe and enjoyed a discount when doing so. They, along with me, are laughing at you, as you continue to “think about” getting a Vespa. Maybe this new Vespa LX 150 3-Valve will push you over the edge?
It is quite alarming, the number of people out there that are “very keen to get a scooter” – but they never get their ass into gear. They realise what a pleasure it is to drive in the city – skipping the traffic and parking next to front doors and beaches, with no car guards […]
It’s prety damn hot in Cape Town at the moment and there is nothing that says jealous, like people in cars queuing for hours in the 40 degree heat, as a Vespa sails through. It’s 2012 and a new year, so why not make a new year’s resolution that will last a lifetime. Learn to […]

2oceansVibe has, for a number of years upheld the proud tradition of declaring summer open. There’s a variety of aspects we take into account to decide when the time is right. We don’t fall into the early September trap of sighting a half week of mid-20s as a sign. No sir! It is far more […]
