Fashioned out of laminated hardwood by Portuguese craftsman Carlos Alberto, this scooter is based on a vintage Vespa that had fallen into complete disrepair. A new body was constructed out of steam bent veneers and carved wood. Even the seat is wood. Beware of splinters, and knock on wood that the frame is insulated from the engine when you're going 50 mph.

I woodn't, coodn't, in a box,

beautiful, but considering how many times I've had my scooter knocked over, it must be kind of terrifying leaving that thing anywhere....
