Join a Worldwide Community of Scooterists!

Vespa in BucktownWhen the Vespa motorscooter was introduced in 1946, it didn't take long for riders to discover the scooter had social — in addition to practical — benefits. Vespisti were soon forming clubs and organizing rides, races, tours, mechanical co-ops, and other events. This network of local Vespa Clubs still exists today, uniting riders wordwide. Vespa Club of America is the official U.S. affiliate of the Vespa World Club, and the Vespa Club of Chicago is one of the VCOA's oldest and largest local chapters. Whatever scooter you ride, we encourage you to get involved in our community and in scootering’s rich history.

Vespa Club of Chicago is hosting the VCOA national rally Amerivespa in 2026, more info soon!
