- ajuc 8y agoMy Fiat Punto has 54 HP at 860 kg and it's perfectly fine for urban driving.
- et2o 8y agoThat's the biggest engine ever put in a Vespa. For a long time (until the 1990s) they were legally limited to 1.5 Hp in Italy. That Vespa also costs nearly as much as this car.
- C1sc0cat 8y agothis is the 300 they have done 500cc
- llampx 8y agoWhich Vespa scooter? A 150cc scooter is pretty big and you need a proper motorcycle license for it, and that has 12-13 bhp. Smaller scooters have even less.

- vram22 8y agoVespa 150cc scooters were commonly sold in India and were a very popular commuter vehicle for many years, earlier. Later Bajaj Auto manufactured the Chetak model which was similar, probably under license or know-how transfer. I rode a Vespa for some time. Never thought of it as big. But you could be right. Depends what you compare it with, I guess. You did need a license for it. IIRC, only mopeds like 50cc or below did not need a license.
