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.

Love it! Will you post pictures of your nursery once you are done decorating?

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!
