Luxury accommodations in Vietnam prefer using vintage motorcycles, cyclos, and iconic Volkswagen Beetles to provide transportation for international visitors. This unique and personalized method of travel offers a more intimate experience as compared to conventional tourist buses.
Foreign tourists find themselves captivated by the distinctive sounds of Vespa scooters as they zoom through the lively streets of Saigon. The city has even witnessed the formation of a community of Vespa enthusiasts who offer thrilling rides to visitors and share their passion for vintage scooters.
In early March 2016, a convoy of nearly 30 Vespa and Lambretta scooters caught the attention of locals in Ho Chi Minh City’s central district. These scooters served as transport for foreign tourists, taking them to various popular destinations within the city.
The routes covered by this group of scooters include Dien Bien Phu, Le Duan, Hai Ba Trung, Nguyen Hue pedestrian street, as well as renowned landmarks like Notre-Dame Cathedral, Saigon Central Post Office, and Ben Thanh Market. The presence of these scooters never fails to capture the attention of onlookers.
For many passersby, the sight of a group of vintage scooters is unexpectedly fascinating. People are particularly intrigued by the female members of the group, who confidently ride alongside their male counterparts.
Tú Anh, one of the group members, shared her passion for vintage scooters: “Ever since I was little, my dad used to take me for rides on his 1967 Vespa Sprint. The sound of its unique exhaust and the lingering white smoke always stayed in my mind. When I got my driver’s license, I pursued my passion for vintage scooters and became part of the Vespa community. While riding with the group, I often notice curious glances and teasing comments from male riders. It brings me joy to share my love for Saigon and showcase its beauty to foreign tourists.”
The group encompasses a wide range of Vespa models, including Acma, Standard, Supper, Sprint, as well as replicas of Vespa and Lambretta scooters. Pictured is a beautifully restored Lambretta Li 125 in an eye-catching blue and silver color scheme.
The Lambretta Li 125 is equipped with a 125cc 4-stroke engine, delivering a maximum output of 5.5 horsepower.
