My mother ( **infamousmom** , who’ll prolly be in here as soon as she sees the thread title) owns a cobalt blue Vespa ET4 and loves it to pieces.

I’ve ridden bitch on it a few times and it’s a very fun ride, especially through Griffith Park. It has enough oomph that even with two people on it, there were no problems accelerating up a steepish hill.
