Awesome Vespa Segway for Sale

Welcome the "Vespa Segway", a daring and extremely cool idea coming from Spain. The name says pretty much everything about this contraption: we're dealing with a Segway-like personal transportation electric vehicle which uses all the design cues of the popular scooter brand.

It looks like Bel & Bel's effort could bring a new twist to the history of the Segway, at least in this ultra-modified form.

While the original vehicle was not the extraordinary hit its creator hoped it would be, marrying the self-balancing convenience, economical usage and fun factor of the Segway with the time-approved classic lines of the Vespa could bring in more customers.

The Vespa Segway has been manufactured by hand using original Piaggio parts and can be further customized upon desire. It can carry a load up to 180 kg (397 lbs) and can climb 30-degree slopes.

It comes with dual 1.34 hp electric motors, and a full charge is good for 30-35 km (18.6-21.7 miles) with a top speed of 20 km/h (12.4 mph).

Not sure how happy Vespa is with this scooter, but it is already selling for €2,899 ($3,925) in limited quantities and with 15 days needed to make one. Instead of bashing the creator, I guess Vespa should hire this chap or pay him big time for the patent.
