Transportation: Rent A Scooter
8:14 AM | 
Dana Kaplan,
Stresa Sights
Vroom vroom! Doesn't it just seem soooo European to travel by scooter or motorbike? Audrey Hepburn did it in Rome, ...
And Audrey Tautou in Paris in the film Amelie...
And this summer, woo-hoo! I did it too, in Stresa!
Such a great way to travel! ....
Maybe you too have always dreamt of exploring Stresa and the Lago Maggiore area on a scooter? Well maybe now is the perfect time to do so, with less tourist traffic on the roads and lower temperatures. I often receive mail with requests for rental information, so for those of you who have been asking, and those of you who may be interested, I've recently come across Living Lake Bike and Scooter Rental, in Verbania. Previously a bicycle rental company, Living Lake has expanded into scooter rentals due to popular demand, and offers several styles of scooters for rent. They will provide you with two well-fitting helmets per each scooter, as well as liability insurance, an antitheft device, and emergency road assistance in case of breakdown. And they also will discuss private guided tours and private scooter dropoffs with you if you are interested in such services. Right now the closest pickup/dropoff point for their scooters is in Intra, Verbania.
Some of the Living Lake scooter fleet.
Remember, unlike the two Audreys above, you and I, and everyone else in Italy, must wear a helmet by law when riding a scooter or motorbike. All driving rules are the same as for cars, except that it is easier to overtake on a scooter and therefore traveling in traffic takes less time. And scooters put an end to parking nightmares. Want to try this exciting and fun mode of transportation? Check out the Living Lake website, which has all the information you'll need to know.
Allora andiamo! Let's go! Ciao ciao! Vrooooom ...

Nice helmet!!! P.S. I am framing that photo!!!
Glad you like it! But I should take this opportunity to say, to promote responsible riding, that I did not ride in heels and white pants. This was only a photoshoot. (Kind of like Audrey Hepburn sitting side-saddle on that Vespa) :-)
