I wanted a vespa for these reasons:

- We, by choice, are a one-car household so its sometimes a pain.
- They are just barely more expensive than an electric bike.
- Electric bikes are a pain to ride in work clothes.
- I dont need a motorbike.
- Motorbikes are a pain to ride in work clothes.
- Motorbikes are more expensive.
- I am a grown ass man and couldn't care less what some CHUDs think about the vehicle i drive.
As mentioned, the con is essentially that i could get seriously hurt, and my wife won't let me get one. So I'll probably buy an electric bike.

Show your wife some pictures of riders getting hurt on electric bikes, she will see your reasoning.
