Kelle sent me these two photos of a great pink and white Vespa ET she saw. She writes:

“Hey Crystal

Where ya been????  I miss you! I found this super cute two-tone pink ET4 in Newport Beach California.  It was in a store that specialized in restorations, but it wasn’t for sale.  It is the owner’s wife’s bike…her baby   It is super cute!  Hope all is well.  Have a very Merry Christmas!

scoot|pink reader Annette me this photo of her pink Lance scooter, along with this note:

Hey Crystal!

I totally love your site & read it every day!  I love to see everyone’s pink scoots & was fortunate enough to get one this year, too.  I’m sending you pics of my Lange Venice 150 that I added a bit of graphics to as well as my newest acquisition… my Pink Panther on a Pink Scooter watch!  I bought it on ebay!

Thanks for doing what you do!

Thank you, Annette, for sharing your scooter passion with other scoot|pink readers.

This pink 1968 Vespa 150 with sidecar is only one of the custom scooters that ModScooters features on its web site. Check out this one in black and hot pink. ModScooters’ Vespas with sidecars sell for $5,700 plus shipping ($650 to anywhere), and without sidecars they are priced at $3,700 plus shipping. Thank you to Jeff at ModScooters who wrote to tell me about his company’s work, and for the permission to use this photo.

Maybe the Hope will inspire you to do your own ride – for example, one Hope rider I know of, Barbara, rode her 50cc Hope 1,100 miles to honor her friend who passed away from breast cancer, and to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The Schwinn Hope 150 has a suggested retail price of $1,999, and gets an estimated 87 miles per gallon. A portion of every sale goes to breast cancer awareness and research causes. Read more about Schwinn’s participation in breast cancer research here: Schwinn Donates Hope Scooters to Komen Foundation. Find a dealer on the web site.

Kelle sent me this photo of her on her pink Vespa ET4. She writes:

“I love your website and check it every day.  Here is a pix of my ET4 pink Vespa.  LOVE IT!!!!  Too Cute!!!!

“I am looking forward to the pink fuzzy seat cover I ordered for my Honda Metrolitan (Pink Hibiscus).  My daughter now rides the Honda.  She loves it!

“Sometimes I pick her up from school on the Vespa.  Her friends think it is cool.  Ha ”

Thanks for the photo, Kelle!

“My name is Tanya and I run a small Modern Scooter group out of Portland, Oregon. We meet once a month and have very intimate rides to where ever. I mean, all of Oregon is beautiful. A friend alerted me to your site and it rocks.  Here is my pink Vespa ET4 2005. I have done quite a bit of mods too it and am still doing more, here’s a list:

PAINT:  The paint is the original pink that Piaggio first used in the 50’s when they first started making the Scooter.  I had opaque added to it so that it would sparkle in the sun.  Also, had little black polka dots added to match my favorite shirt.  You can’t see the dots unless you’re standing right next to the bike.  It’s awesome!

RIMS:  I had the original rims custom chrome dipped and added a spinner that I designed to fit the bike.  These things gleam and spin while I ride.

SEAT:  I bought a custom lowered seat as I couldn’t get a full foot on the ground. This seat gives me about an inch and a half of play as I have short legs…hee hee.

LIGHTS:  All the original lights have been replaced with the Euro lights.  Instead of the yellow lights, they are white with a yellow bulb.  This gives a sharper looking finish to the bike.  Makes the color flow a little nicer.

SHIELD:  I added the small clear windshield to the front of the bike to block some of the wind that hits the bike, but mostly for curb appeal.

SPEED:  I have the ET4 Molossi kit that goes to this bike.  I haven’t put it on the bike yet as I am waiting to put the new exhaust on at the same time.”

Tanya also wanted to reiterate that she didn’t rider her scooter in the heels she’s wearing in the photo; they were worn for the photo shoot (a ‘Sexy Scooter’ layout in the local newspaper, Willamette Weekly).

Thank you Tanya, for sharing your photos and mods list. And my apologies for not writing you back to let you know when this was going up – your email got filtered and I can’t find it! :: sigh ::

I promise, this is the last pink Lance on the list! The Lance Milan 150 is the same design as the hot pink Q-Link Siena, only in a light champagne color. It’s a 150cc 4-stroke that gets a claimed 74mpg, and has a price tag of $1,999.

Ian sent me these two photos of a beautiful Lambretta that he took photos of at the Great London Ride Out on June 1. He tell’s me it’s an SX150 with 186 kit.

He also said he thought it was “magnificent.” I couldn’t agree more!

This “Pink Panther” 1964 Lambretta SX150 has an asking price of 4700 Euros, and has a 185cc kit installed. See this and more scooters for sale on the Orihuela Scooter Club web site’s ‘for sale’ page.

Kristen from scooterlust.com let me borrow a couple of photos from her Flickr photostream of this Hello Kitty enhanced pink Stella and sidecar. She took the photos at last year’s Amerivespa. (Hey, look what else she took a photo of.)
