  1. Well congratualation to Vespa scooters to India! They should bring more in force and less fuel consumption which present scooters are offering. 1.Many people for sack of mileage has to buy Honda bike which gives around 80-90kms. even though weight, height more, put on stand difficult for middle age people. When frequenty has to start ,stop for business purpose everyday scooter is better. I had first Bajaj which never start and stop in beween. Then bought LML-NV vespa and used for 15year then sold to other as have to come overseas. But that scooter is still working. 2. Here LML starting plug is very inside and carburetter are well inside.Even in raining monson it still ride on. It 12V Head desing very powerful and side light too. I hope latest technquie will be incorporated. 3. Putting on stand and side stand should be robust. 4. Use Li-mH highly efficeint battery in this scooters for auto start scooters and size of battery should not be problem to repalce other type of battey in it, any brand will be good. 5. What about three wheeler scooter to introduce in range. As age people ,long driving people like to have comfort for riding. 6.Overseas Honda scootterate with 50cc engine have whole body cover with front, side,back are covered with front stand with fibre glass body. I have got snap if you want. 7.Last time in 2009 I tried for eBike Honda electric, Yamaha but there front and back riding seat are horrible. After trial feel burning in both sides legs and bottom thigh. They made premoulded too much wide seats with sides no cusion feel burning. 8. Some sort whether comfort in high winds, heavy rain, with road filled in water in monsoon, summer very hot include as a additional accessories or fitting options so that we can buy these VERY IMPORTANT fittings right from VESPA scooters only and need have to used Delhi made fittings in it which in few months brakes away. What is the price please?
