Scooters are a great form of transportation, especially to those who wants a easy to maintain vehicle back during the early days in Germany. These scooters are inexpensive and the choices are more diverse compared to Malaysia, where we are flooded with Vespa scooters.

Here's a cut out of the engine compartment of a scooter that sits 2 people comfortably. Noticed how stretched the scooter is compared to a Vespa. This thing must be the stylish choice of the 60s, when the economy only permits purchase of scooters like these.

Here's a photo of the Cezeta Type-502-01 Scooter, that looks so stylishly angular. You could see that it could carry 2 passengers comfortably. Motorcycles of the 60's have their design inspirations coming from an aeroplane, thats why it look so round and smooth around the edges.

When you look at this "Pitty" scooter, one would imagine, how scooters are designed to be so advanced looking in the past. It simply look stylish and retro. You would definitely feel like owning one of these in your garage.

Tri-cycle machines have existed a long time before and still exists in Bangkok these days, in a form of tuk-tuk taxis.

Look more scooters!

I would honestly admit that I am not a scooter connoisseur, however, these photos are worth sharing to the Zerotohundred.com crowd, so that you can admire them and tell me more about them. I actually love cars more than two-wheelers more, but since I was given a chance to visit them, why not share these pictures out. I hope you could point me out what these motorcycles are, for those who are good with identifying them. Stay tune to more motorcycle photos.
