On the other side of the legshields, all models came with a large locking glovebox. All U. Note that some models were made for European markets without any of those amenities found on U. The handlebars on the P's were also completely redesigned. First, the headlight was made much larger than the previous U.
It accommodated a large car-style sealed beam headlight which was required by U. European models had a replaceable bulb type headlight. Another major change was that the headset was made with a removeable plastic top. This top, secured by four screws, allowed access to the wiring and cables when removed. The speedometer was totally new, and physically much larger than previous speedos. European models did not have the neutral light. There were several versions of the speedometer for the U.
Above the speedometer on the headset top were two indicators, one for high beam, and the other for turn signals. All P's had an ignition switch on the headset top, and finally, the switch had an actual key unique to each switch, rather than a blank key. There were two different versions of the switch, one with three positions, and one with only two positions.
The headset bottom was cast and was solid on the bottom. As on previous Vespas, there were four mounting holes on the bottom of the headset for mirrors or a windshield. The seat was also redesigned, and in keeping with the rest of the design changes, it was made larger. All P's came with a dual saddle, and the venerable single seat was relegated to history.
Another alteration on the P's was that the floor rails and runners were made larger and no longer had ridges, but were flat. The end caps were now a square shape, as opposed to the pointed shape on the earlier models.
The center stand was also changed to include a larger buffer stop. The center stand was altered after a few years to a larger diameter due to the propensity of the first one to bend under load. The taillight used on the P's in the U. This "tractor style" rear light included the license plate bracket, which was painted the same color as the scooter as on previous models.
On European models, the P got a new, larger taillight. It was basically a square shape, and omitted the plastic top that was found on the older European model taillight. The P-series also added a plastic bumper with integrated mudflap at the rear of the frame, a feature unique to the P's. The second version of the P series were the PX models, which were introduced in Europe in By this time, Piaggio had decided to pull out of the U.
However, a very small amount of PXE's were imported to the U. The PX's included some nice practical upgrades. The cowl latching mechanism was operated from a handle under the seat, and thus could be locked with the seat lock. Furthermore, the speedometer and headset top were redesigned. A gas gauge was added to the speedometer, and all of the indicator lights were relocated to the speedometer as well.
The legshield glovebox was enlarged, the center floor mat was changed, and the plastic horncasting's shape was altered. Some other changes were made to the front axle and internal motor parts which are discussed below. Produced by Piaggio from April until now. He is the founder of the European design school of scooters and the first successful scooter in the world. The car was designed from scratch without regard to traditional motorcycles. It was based on other aviation principles.
Namely: the combination of functions and the rejection of all superfluous. A characteristic feature of this model is a frameless design. The role of the frame was played by the supporting body, whose simple stamped panels were connected by spot welding. The designer refused to reverse gear - he put the drive wheel on the shank of the gearbox secondary shaft.
The power unit, weighing only 26 kilograms, rocked with the wheel on a pendulum fork. Small wheels with 3.
The engine was located to the right of the drive wheel and was closed by a convex stamped casing. To the left for symmetry, the same casing was made under which a spare wheel was placed. The gas tank was in the back of the scooter. The first Vespa was very technological in manufacturing and therefore cheap and quickly gained popularity.
In , a cc motor with a capacity of 4 liters was put on scooters. For example, a credit card number, a personal identification number, or an unlisted home address. Note that email addresses and full names are not considered private information.
