Enrico Piaggio started Vespa in 1946 like many other start up motorcycle companies at that era – the same year Freddie Mercury was born, Tupperware came to existence, the Bikini controversially debuted, and when the United Nations had their first meeting. This was a good & interesting year to be around. Mr. Piaggio named it Vespa (Italian for the insect “wasp”) due to the sound it made which bore close semblance to that of the insect sound when flying.
Since the day Vespa became available to the public (and much like the insect it was named after) “swarms” of Vespa owners have grown globally unlike any other motorcycle brand so much so that, after 18 million units sold worldwide, the “Vespa World Day” has become – like the motorcycle, a global sensation annually in nearly all nations. Countless thousands of Vespa owners – the likes of some you have never seen, gather to celebrate friendship, music, food, cultures, and so much more. This all started in 1953 – the same year where we saw the first polio vaccine, hydrogen bomb, double helix DNA strand, the end of Korean wars and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.




Wheeltek saw the beauty of the Vespa brand. They started selling motorcycles way back in 1974 – the same year we saw People Magazine, the first Stephen King novel, out of control global inflation and “Happy Days” started airing on TV. And last year in 2021, Wheeltek started selling Vespa to bring this historic icon closer to the people of Calamba and the rest of southern Luzon. Because you see, you need to own one before you can join any Vespa club and participate in their Vespa World Days. That is why a visit to the Wheeltek Vespa showroom at Wheeltek Bldg. Km 50 Manila S Rd, Real 4027 Calamba City will show you all the nicest new models you can choose from like the basic S125, Sprint 150, Primavera 150, or the sporty GTS and Sei Giorni, or the ultra expensive 946 Emporio Armani Limited Edition, Vespa 946 Christian Dior Limited Edition & not to forget the upcoming collaboration with Justin Bieber who was born on 1994 – the same year Netscape was the web browser of choice.
So when are you going to become part of history? It’s 2022 – the year we saw Omicron become the dominant virus to infect earth and the year you got a Vespa. Let’s make history.
