<div id="urb-ads-toc-box" class="post-ads-toc-box urb-ads-toc" style="display:none;"></div><p>Synonymous with carefree cool classic Italian design, the Vespa has a timeless, iconic look that&rsquo;s instantly recognizable even when translated to chairs, jewelry, alarm clocks, pizza cutters and uncanny animal-motorcycle hybrid sculptures. These vintage Vespa-inspired designs often re-use salvaged parts from discarded motorcycles, while some just make use of the simple, streamlined silhouette.</p>
<h4>Scooter Chair by Bel &amp; Bel<br>
<a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Vespa-inspired-chair-1.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89694" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Vespa-inspired-chair-1-468x536.jpg" alt="Vespa inspired chair 1" width="468" height="536"></a></h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-chair-2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89693" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-chair-2-468x366.jpg" alt="vespa inspired chair 2" width="468" height="366"></a></p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-chair-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89692" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-chair-3-468x331.jpg" alt="vespa inspired chair 3" width="468" height="331"></a></p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-chair-4-960x1404.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89691" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-chair-4-468x684.jpg" alt="vespa inspired chair 4" width="468" height="684"></a></p>
<p>Made from real, original 1980s parts of the Italian scooter, these chairs by Spanish firm <a href="http://belybel.com/eng/">Bel &amp; Bel</a> translate Vespa&rsquo;s aesthetics for a new purpose. The chair features functioning lights, soft tread silent wheels, imitation leather cushions and hydraulic pistons in the base for height adjustment.</p>
<h4>Vespa Scooter Ring by Paul Michael Design<br>
<a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-ring-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89690" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-ring-1-468x414.jpg" alt="vespa inspired ring 1" width="468" height="414"></a></h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-ring-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89689" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-ring-2-468x468.jpg" alt="vespa inspired ring 2" width="468" height="468"></a></p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-ring-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89688" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-ring-3-468x458.jpg" alt="vespa inspired ring 3" width="468" height="458"></a></p>
<p>This fun design from<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/226576565/mens-gold-scooter-ring-hipster-vespa?zanpid=2139426488553268224&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=zanox&amp;utm_campaign=row_buyer&amp;utm_content=2166298"> Paul Michael</a> lets you wear a Vespa on your finger. Get it in sterling silver for $300 or go all out with palladium and a real diamond for $2,295.</p>
<h4>Zero Vespa Segway<br>
<a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-segway-.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89687" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-segway--468x312.jpg" alt="vespa inspired segway" width="468" height="312"></a></h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-segway-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89686" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-segway-2-468x334.jpg" alt="vespa inspired segway 2" width="468" height="334"></a></p>
<p>Segways are inherently dorky, but if only this version would catch on, they&rsquo;d at least be a lot more pleasing to look at. From the same design group that created the Vespa Chair, there&rsquo;s <a href="http://belybel.com/eng/">the Zero</a>, a scooter with two electric-powered wheels and a computer-controlled gyroscopic stabilizing system. Hand-built to order, it reaches a top speed of 12mph and can climb hills of up to 30 degrees.</p>
<h4>Skootcase<br>
<a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-skootcase.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89685" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-skootcase-468x369.jpg" alt="vespa inspired skootcase" width="468" height="369"></a></h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-skootcase-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89684" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-skootcase-2-468x217.jpg" alt="vespa inspired skootcase 2" width="468" height="217"></a></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-89683" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-skootcase-3.jpg" alt="vespa inspired skootcase 3" width="424" height="600"></p>
<p>Considering how many kids try to ride their parents&rsquo; wheeled suitcases at the airport or down the sidewalk, the <a href="http://shop.digginactive.com/p/skootcase-pink">Skootcase</a> is actually pretty practical. The fully-functional scooter doubles as a child&rsquo;s carry-on sized suitcase, with a sturdy tow strap so you can pull them along when you&rsquo;re rushing to catch your flight.</p>
<h4>Vespa-Inspired Rocking Horse<br>
<a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-rocking-horse.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89682" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-rocking-horse-468x349.jpg" alt="vespa inspired rocking horse" width="468" height="349"></a></h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-rocking-horse-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-89681" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/vespa-inspired-rocking-horse-2-468x380.jpg" alt="vespa inspired rocking horse 2" width="468" height="380"></a></p>
<p>This awesome <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2009/10/14/man-builds-vespa-rocking-horse-for-grandchild-builds-jealousy-for-everyone-else/">Vespa-inspired rocking horse</a> was a one-of-a-kind gift for the designer&rsquo;s grandson Diego.</p>
