Overview

The scooter can trace its origins right back to the late 19th century when vehicle invention and experimentation was still in its infancy. Although many firms were founded to build these lightweight machines in the 1920s, it was not until the 1950s that the scooter, as we know it today, had become an established cheap-to-buy and cheap-to-run mode of transport. As the scooter became an intrinsic part of the 1960s youth movement, it became synonymous with a quite separate genre of music, unique fashion and a new social lifestyle led by the youth at the time. The development of this often disparaged slice of motoring history, which was an iconic era in British populuar culture, is fantastically documented here.
