Tutti gli scooter del mondo. 1946-1966 (IT)

The most comprehensive book ever published on the golden age of the scooter.

The first part examines the 1910s and 1920s, a period in which this vehicle was little more than a motorized scooter and served as an alternative to the bicycle with a built-in engine. The second part focuses on the scooter in the 1930s and 1940s, the era in which the definitive construction model for this innovative vehicle began to take shape: low wheels, an open frame, and a body.

The 1950s and 1960s, the golden age of the scooter, also receive a special focus, with an overview of the post-World War II era and the importance of the scooter as a means of personal transportation.

Special attention is also paid to production in the most important countries (especially trends in Italy, France, Germany, Great Britain, the United States, and Japan), whose most significant brands are comprehensively covered and richly illustrated. The book concludes with "The Catalogue," a comprehensive overview featuring illustrated descriptions complete with technical data for all the most significant models—organized by country.

A unique text for scooter enthusiasts and all those who hold "small wheels" dear.
