VESPAS: SCOOTERS CONVERTED TO RUN ON ELECTRICITY WITH NO FUMES

Kick-start into new life

When Indonesian executive Heret Frasthio takes his antique 1957 VL Vespa for a ride, its white paint peeling off, the usual fumes and hum of the free-spirited scooters cannot be seen or heard.

The two-wheeler is just one of the vintage models converted by his company as it tries to turn a love for the Italian icon into an environmentally friendly pursuit.

Indonesia has long suffered from air pollution, partly driven by its addiction to inefficient, old cars and scooters, including nearly one million Vespas as of 2022, according to the country's Vespa Club.

Stealing dignity from the grieving

One of the evil characteristics of apartheid and one many South African nonwhite people won't get over easily - was that anyone who was not white was regarded, in law and in treatment, as a lesser being, the untermensch (subhuman) which was the Nazi label for Jews and any non-Aryan.
