Wooden Vespa Scooter By Carlos Alberto

Carlos Alberto is a carpenter in Portugal with a modernist bent, a love of motorbikes and a sense of humor. This is “Daniela,” a fully-functional Vespa-styled scooter built almost entirely from wood. Most of Alberto’s projects are standard stuff: staircases, furniture. Some time ago, he built a wooden motorcycle, called “Mota.” With “Daniela,” he decided to document the building process on his website, from a bent plywood frame to motoring down the avenue. (wired)
