The idea came after the World War 2, the Piaggio was founded in the 1884 and they produced Bomber Aircraft, but after the WWII all the Italians companies that produced weapon, airplane, bullets etc, weren't able too continue to product it (don't forget that Italy was with Germany). than in the 1946 the idea! use the part of the Aircraft to built scooters and he designed the Vespa!

Ronald Piaggio started the famous scooter called Vaspa
Because motorcycles were invented first, it is hard to pinpoint exactly when the first scooter was made. 'Vespa', made in Italy by Piaggio, is however thought by many to be the first scooter.
One of the first scooters was built in Italy by Italian industrialist, Enrico Piaggio. The Vespa came a little later for use in World War II. Harley Davidson Motorcycles also built a scooter used in World War II.
Enrico Piaggio hired a number of engineers to design the Vespa. Renzo Spolti and Vittorio Casini were the first designers and Corradino D'Ascanio gave it it's distinctive design.

Piaggio is an Italian company that makes the Vespa Scooters.
I personally believe that Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Vespa, Piaggio, Aprilia, Kymco, Bajaj, Lambretta, and Genuine scooters are among the top ten scooter manufacturers.
