The Justin Bieber X Vespa Was Ideated and Designed by the Singer
Niko Pajkovic — April 12, 2022 — Autos
Superstar singer Justin Bieber has teamed up with luxury scooter maker Vespa to launch the exclusive Justin Bieber x Vespa, which will arrive in three model types: 50, 125, and 150 ccs.
The new Bieber-designed scooter does not mark the first time that Vespa has partnered with major players outside the automotive space. For example, the company had previously teamed up with high-end fashion brands Giorgia Armani and Dior to create their own custom scooters. However, with the new model, the scooter was personally concieved and designed by the pop star himself, rather than a whole team belonging to a brand or fashion house.
“The first time I rode a Vespa was somewhere in Europe, probably either London or Paris. I just remember seeing a Vespa and being like ‘I want to ride one of those.’ And I had such a great time, just the wind flying through my hair, the freedom. It was fun," said Bieber describing his inspiration for teaming up with Vespa.
