Toronto - Need to get around quickly? A Vespa just might do the trick. You'll see them all over the streets of Toronto as the popularity of the scooter continues to soar.

The scooter is a favourite for many reasons - it's more environmentally friendly, cheap on gas and parking, and can hold its own on the road.

The playful Vespa was even featured in this summer's blockbuster "Transformers".

Sarah Donofrio works at Motoretta, a Vespa dealership on College Street. She tells OMNI Television the goods are authentically Italian.

"All of the bikes we have here are made in Italy, they're all brought over from Europe," she said.

No matter how much you hate rush hour, enthusiasts say the ease of scooters make commuting a breeze.
