Call it a labor of love or just admit a wicked obsession, this wooden Vespa from Carlos Alberto is surely a thing of beauty.

Her name is Daniela in honor of the builder’s daughter, and aside from being a beautiful example of craftsmanship in both woodworking and engineering, this is a fully functional scooter…

Check out Carlos’ personal site for more photos and the story of this amazing machine.

This summer, South Side resident Ken Larson, 71, and North Side resident Steve Neuman, 53, rode coast to coast on Yamaha VINO 125cc scooters, taking in the country’s varied beauty on winding highways and back roads. “Our motto,” said Larson, “was the smaller the road, the better, as long as it is paved.”

Just when you think that the Vespa design has been hacked to death, something like this pops up… Introducing the (concept) Vespa 1+1.

“The idea for the project was to create a minimum vehicle for the city,” Designer Davide Panarella told Wired.com. That vehicle just had to be a Vespa, “not only because it is the spirit of Italian design, but because it marked a step in the history and world culture, which is also the first real minimum vehicle for the city.”

We’re not so sure a design like this would ever come to fruition, or if anyone would ever be interested in such an interesting concept. But, if you’re interested, there’s more information at Wired’s Autopia.
