The most comprehensive book ever published on the golden age of scooters. The first part examines the '10s and '20s, a period when this vehicle was little more than a powered moped and served as an alternative to the bicycle with an attached propeller.
The second part is focused on the scooter in the '30s and '40s, when a definitive design scheme of this innovative vehicle began to take shape: low wheels, open frame and bodywork.
Great emphasis is also placed on the '50s and '60s, the golden age of the scooter, with an overview of the post-World War II period and the importance of the scooter as a means of individual transport.
Particular attention is also paid to the production of the most important countries (especially the trends in Italy, France, Germany, Great Britain, the United States and Japan), whose most significant brands are exhaustively and richly illustrated.
The book closes with "The Catalogue", a wide-ranging overview that includes for all the most significant models - subdivided by country - illustrated fact sheets complete with technical data.
Tutti gli scooter del mondo 1946-1966 is a unique text for scooter enthusiasts and for all fans who have "small wheels" in their hearts.
432 pages and an extraordinary iconographic collection, with 298 b/w and 783 colour pictures.
