Why Vespas Make the Best Repurposed Rocking Horses

One look at the final result has me searching high and low for a vintage Vespa beyond repair.  A very chic grandpa turned his old Vespa into a custom rocking scooter for his very lucky grandson Diego, as seen via Greenwala.  How happy does that little boy look?!

    That’s very, very very cool. I think I’ll start looking for an old Vespa, too.

    Vespa’s are MUCH bigger then this, that was never a real scooter.

    Really cool looking but I dont think that was a real vespa. Those are made for adults so would be far too large for a child.

    Ah joseph and mrslimestone, good to know! This actually may make incorporating this type of rocking horse into my son’s nursery easier, as I won’t need to search for a broken Vespa!

    gracieK, I hope to share a few photos of my son’s nursery soon, although we are in the midst of house hunting, so I may wait until we make our final move and I have the room just right :)

    Totally brilliant, although I hope that Vespa was well and truly dead before it got chopped up!
