Another Vespa Dealer!

No, still not in Lancaster. This one is in Lebanon. Vespa Lebanon is on the grounds of Ebersole Truck Center. They sell American trucks and Italian scooters: nearly opposite ends of the vehicle spectrum. Yes, they are aware of the irony, thank you. Their address is 2014 West Cumberland Street, Lebanon. That's on Rt. 422. Telephone:717/274-8675. They are open weekdays until 7pm, so there is enough time to check them out after work. Their website isn't active yet, so for now they are rockin' a MySpace page.

They have been open only for about a month and are still stocking the accessories. But scooters are already flying out the door. The MP3's especially seem to be big sellers.

I heard about them when Janet, otherwise known as "Nettie" from the Three Mile Island Scooter Club, Emailed me about the new shop. She works there as a Sales Representative. She says that the Vespa shop is a scooters-only showroom operated by people who want to create an alternative to the "motorsports center". If you are looking for a scooter and you aren't interested in being up-sold to a liter-bike, this is the place for you. (Don't be fooled by the red motorcycle in the picture.... that's mine. Lebanon's a bit far on 50cc!)

Nettie says that they are looking to serve Lebanon, Lancaster, and Dauphin Counties. She asked me if I knew of any scooter clubs on the East side of the Susquehanna (York and TMISC serving the West side). I said I didn't know of any formal clubs, but I passed on what I know about the scene. I think that the density of scooterists is reaching a critical mass, and we are ready for a scooter club over here on the fallout side of the island. If you are interested in getting something organized, Email Nettie or myself.
