About Me

At Iron City Scooters, LLC we are passionate about our work. We see vintage Italian scooters as more than small capacity motorbikes that get great gas mileage. With their clean lines and quality craftsmanship, they are the pinnacle of classic Italian styling and performance. It is our goal to put our expertise to work for people who want to purchase, ride, restore and/or mechanically customize their own mobile work of art. We sell, restore, service and provide performance tuning for vintage Piaggio, Serveta, and Innocenti scooters (Vespas and Lambrettas), and we always work with our customers to provide the level of service they desire. web site: www.ironcityscooters.com
