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 just 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.

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. 

To organize a tour by Vespa, with a guide, contact Lago Maggiore Events. They can plan tours for groups, weddings, business events, or even two people.

Allora andiamo! Let's go! Ciao ciao!  Vrooooom ...
