Riders from Indonesia craft their broken Vespa into Mad Max style bikes

Their incredible journey was even covered on the official YouTube channel of Great Big Story.

In Indonesia, almost everyone rides a scooter or a Vespa, but a few passionate riders have elevated their experience to new heights.

They modify their Vespas in ways that are both fascinating and outlandish.

Each modified Vespa is unique. They aren’t as fast as a jet-powered scooter, but they look super cool.

Some feature multiple tires and a large space for more passengers, another shortened to knee height with wild and rough decorations, and some are even adorned with horns.

The creativity behind each design is as diverse as the individuals who ride them.

The process of modification is an art in itself.

This involves joining of Vespa bodies and deciding on the number of tires to add.

It’s beautiful to see when a community brings about change.

These Indonesian Vespa modifiers gather once a year on each major island of the country to share their stories and celebrate their passion together.

It’s inspiring to see how the passionate riders from Indonesia are bringing a new change and turning ordinary rides into a work of art.

Modifications are done without any special training

While creating these modified Vespas is a bit tricky, these enthusiasts haven’t taken any special classes or undergone formal engineering training.

Most of them are self-taught.

From assembling the parts to designing, welding, and creating the ultimate product — they just rely on their passion to guide their work.
