For many adults, the Vespa tour at the weekend is a break from everyday life and great fun. Children also want to ride the Vespa, which is why there are of course battery-powered models for them. These small electric scooters are incredibly fun to ride, while of course safety is not neglected.
The Vespa for children: driving fun and skill training
The Vespa for children creates a sensation among big and small. It awakens dreams of winding rides on the coast of Portofino, keeps children busy for hours and at the same time perfectly trains their dexterity. Of course, the original design of the children’s Vespas, which look exactly like the adult models, is also responsible for the high fun factor. They are practically identical to the adult models, but much smaller and adapted to children’s capabilities in terms of performance and speed. From around the fourth to fifth birthday, the youngest are already able to drive slowly on their little Vespa. Parents should not miss their shining eyes! Practice can first be in the home garden, then a protected play street is the appropriate terrain. There are the Vespa for children in different designs, whereby girls and boys have quite different preferences. In addition, there are different sizes for different age groups.
