I know what you’re thinking. “That technically isn’t a scooter!” But check out that Vespa cowl!
And for your enjoyment I’m including a postcard from the 2008 Gasoline Rally in Indianapolis with more Space Scooter goodness.
About the art print:
It’s a limited edition giclee by Chris Reccardi. It measures 48 × 24 × 7/8″ and is $400 (not including shipping). It comes signed and is in a numbered edition of only 50.
Thanks to Tim for this find!

I wish I knew more about the modeling craze that seems to feature a lot of scooters. I think the idea is that you can create your own action figure and of course that newly minted superhero has to have accessories. These little models come in a variety of colors and are $17.09 each. There is no size mentioned but the company is in California, so it should be easy enough to contact them.
Thanks to Julie G. for this unusual find!

Awhile back we posted about this neat greeting card:
Then over Christmas, Swagerista Rickie S. presented me with the same design on a coffee mug that came in its own gift box! (Thanks Rickie!)
It turns out that “Curly Girl Designs” has really expanded their line and now you can get this design on magnets, notepads, post-its, candles, water bottles, laptop skins, portable mini shopping bags and art prints.
To search for this design look for “The World Is Full of People” in the shop section of their site:

We’ve featured a bunch of different decals over the last couple of years. (Type “wall” into the Search window on the right side of the page to see them all.) Here’s yet another – this time a more modernish P type Vespa shipping from an American Company. (But note the UK electrical outlet near the back tYre!) It’s $68 and measures approximately 49″ wide and 35″ tall.
Thanks to Melissa L. for this great find!

True, this movie did come out in 2004 but then ScooterSwag wasn’t even around then!
Motorsport Scooters in San Diego has it on sale for $19.95 and they apparently there are only a few left. They measure 24″ wide and 34″ high and was a promotional poster that was only available to Vespa dealers. They come rolled and may have a few small creases.

We posted about these chairs late last week:
(Earlier Scooter Swag Post)
And I wanted to share the e-mail I received from the Bel y Bel studios in Barcelona in response to some of my questions:
“The Vespa chair is a really exclusive product, a limited series made from old Vespa scooters from the scrap yard.
All our products are handcrafted, 100% bel&bel. Their unique and uncommon character makes them suitable for window dressing and atrezzo in advertising campaigns and TV shows. Although, as a general rule, the majority of our products have a functional use, we like to consider them as being halfway between design and art.
The Vespa chair can be purchased by ordering directly from bel&bel (with the possibility of choosing the colour and finish). All the chairs are made from old Vespa scooters: the parts are salvaged and restored to become authentic handcrafts. The chairs are numbered to preserve their exclusivity: the customer receives the documentation that guarantees the chair’s authenticity and the owner’s name (just like any motorcycle owner receives its authentic documentation).
The starting price of the chairs is 1,800€. The final price will depend on the finish and the added extras. These are the prices for some finished models:
- Pearl white with white upholstery: 2,000€.
- Silver gray with black upholstery: 1,800€.
- Silver grey with black upholstery and flash lights: 1,900€.
All the models include a piston with height-adjustment.
All the chairs are produced in our Studio-Workshop, located in Barcelona. Regarding the shipment of our products, we have no agreements with international shipping companies: we can use the most convenient method for you (the shipment costs are to be paid by the customer).”
And here’s a link to the construction details of the chair including some interesting prototype photos:

Thanks to ModCulture UK for this find. We’ve featured some scooter wall decals before but not one of a fenderlight. Made by a French company, it’s available for a base price of £49.00 in different sizes and colors :
