Origin

The history of the Vespa began more than a century ago, exactly 1884 by Rinaldo Piaggio in Genoa Italy. But at the end of the century, Piaggio also produced the Cretan Releases, Cretaceous Cars, Body Trucks, Machines and Cretaceous fires. In World War I, his company produced the Aircraft and Boats In 1917, piaggio bought a new plant in Pisa and four years later Rinaldo took over a small factory in Pontedera in the Tuscany region of Italy. It was this plant in Pontedera that became the center of the production of the Aircraft and its component parts. During World War II, the factory in pontedera make P108 for Two-passenger aircraft engine and Bomber Version.

Reborn

At the end of World War II,Piaggio Factory was bombed by an Allied plane.After the War Enrico Piaggio took Piaggio from his father (Rinaldo Piaggio).By that time the Italian economy was deteriorating,Enrico decided to design a cheap means of transportation.Then join Corradino D'Ascanio,the talented aviation engineer who designed,drafted and flown his first Modern Helicopter Piaggio.D'Ascanio envisioned a new vehicle revolution.It was based on the technology of the Aircraft.

So in 1945, the alternative construction was found. Originally indeed a motorcycle concept with iron frames with rounded shape like a tunnel. Surprisingly, it turns out the starter part is designed by using the components of the bomb and the wheels are taken from the Wheel Combat plane.In order to optimize the form and safety of its users, the factory that was then regarded as a small business, designing the footboard board on the front. This project directly led by Carradino D'Ascanio.Karena patents were soon they can pocket.

The result, first appeared the product motor with MP5 series. The vehicle is simple technology but has a very interesting shape similar to the animal sting (bee) because of the shape of the skeleton.

D'Ascanio only takes a few days to re-concept the design of his vehicle and the prototype is given the name MP6. When Enrico Piaggio Prototip MP6, he accidentally exclaims "Sambra Una Vespa" (looks like a bee). In April 1946, the MP6 Prototype was in mass production at the Piaggio plant in Pontedera of Italy.
