Scooter and Service out of Hamburg, Germany mixed and matched parts from six different motor scooters to create the Vespa PS 240. Based on a PX frame and a GS rear, the PS 240 delivers a better power to weight ratio than the Porche 911 GT3.
At a wet weight of 200 lbs and with 38 hp per wheel, plus a 4-speed transmission the PS 240 delivers big league performance which will even will even outperform the Harley-Davidson Street 500 or most entry-level sport bikes.
Scooter and Service created the PS 240 using modern technology which delivered breathtaking power but maintained the Vespa vintage look, making the PS 240 not only the world’s craziest Vespa but also the worlds most powerful.
With rumors of a Vespa 350 in the works, S and S have demonstrated that the possibilities are limited only by the creators abilities.
