History

The “R” version of the Vespa 50 was the most economical model in the series, distinguished from the others by its 9" wheels and front handlebar cowl matching the body colour. The gearbox was three-speed. This 50 was particularly popular among fourteen-year-olds because it seemed to fully satisfy the widespread desire for freedom, in part thanks to its excellent value for money.
