The Vespa 50 was launched in 1963. The popularity of ‘small body’ Vespa has grown through the decades. With the introduction of ‘Highway code’ in 1962, vehicles larger than 50cc were required to have a license plate. 14 years and above we re allowed to ride scooters under 50cc without a license. Young riders who till then was a small share was rapidly becoming mobile and affluent. Vespa 50 circumvented the regulatory challenge and opened a new world for the youngsters.
