History Of Gas Scooters
Gas scooters have come a long way over the past 50
years. They are functional, fun, convenient and cheap.
What more could you ask for?
The first patents for scooters go back as far as 1921.
The Razor scooter was later developed by Gino Tsai in
Shanghai, Taiwan and became an instant hit with the
public. It didn't take long for motor scooter popularity
to expand all over the globe.
Even before 1950 there were as many as 110,000 scooters
on the road in Italy alone. It has been just a little
over 50 years since the Vespa-Douglas Corporation in the
UK sold their first gas scooters. The Douglas
corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy when they
first began selling their gas scooters. It was a big hit
at the 1950 Motorcycle Show and saved the company from
possible financial ruin.
From 1950 to 1958 Vespa sold over 125,000 of their gas
powered scooters in the UK. Why the great success?
During this period the European countries didn't have a
great deal of money and there was not much gas available
to the public. Due to the scarcity of gasoline and the
high gas mileage of the gas motor scooter it's
popularity quickly escalated.
It didn't take long for the Italian models (the Piaggio
from Vespa and the LAMBRETTA from Innocent) to branch
out to other countries. In France they became so popular
the French tried to get in on the boom by manufacturing
their own. By the early to mid 1950s the sale of gas
scooters climbed to about 1 million a year in France
alone. |

Other countries wanted to profit from the newest craze
and tried to climb on the band wagon. While some were
successful others were not. Germany began to manufacture
larger touring models, but this did not satisfy the
public in the way the smaller, cheaper and more
fuel-efficient models from Italy and France did. These
smaller models were extremely popular in the European
market.
Tourist Scooters Manufacturers in Germany built some
very strong and powerful versions and were the first to
install electric starters. These larger versions were
great for traveling, touring and even racing, but were
not as popular as the smaller, cheaper, more efficient
models used for traveling shorter distances around town.
Vespa began marketing a couple of very popular gas
powered scooters from Piaggio, the GS 125cc and the GS
150cc. These were improved versions of the earlier
models for several reasons. The biggest reason is
probably because the heavy gear mechanism rods were
replaced by smaller and lighter cables.
France's Roussey Scooters tried to one-up the Italian
competition by coming out with a 175cc model. These were
very nice vehicles and included the first water-cooled
engines along with other new features, but because it
had a pull-start it could not compete with the newer
models from Italy that were already offering versions
with electric starts.
As these wonderful vehicles have evolved over the years
they have become increasingly more popular all over the
world. Today they are everywhere. They are cheap to
purchase, economical to operate, and are very handy and
functional. These are not toys and are genuinely a lot
of fun to ride. There are electric, gas powered,
foldable, mobility and utility scooters.
The electric types are often used by kids and teens, but
are also popular with the elderly and handicapped.
Models for the handicapped are usually called mobility
scooters. Folding varieties can be folded up and
conveniently stored under desks, in closets or in other
tiny areas and utility types are used for many different
purposes. They are more popular than go karts, mini
bikes or go carts. Scooters, sometimes called mopeds or
go peds, are very functional, convenient and are here to
stay.
