Welcome to the Vespa Zitas Scooter Club, a community that embodies the timeless elegance and adventurous spirit of Vespa's & scooters and the lifestyle they represent. Founded by the dynamic duo, Kelmany and Steve, this club transcends being a mere assembly of scooter enthusiasts—it’s a vibrant family who meet up for rides and travel to rally’s celebrating likeminded friendships, the scooter lifestyle and environmental sustainability.
In 2020, Kelmany placed an order for her Vespa GTS 300 HPE from a Toronto dealership. The three-month wait for delivery was filled with anticipation as she meticulously planned her licensing and learning journey. Upon its arrival, Steve’s inaugural ride and his beaming Vespa smile were unmistakable—they were captivated. During their first year, they shared the scooter, joining local rides and out-of-town rallies organized by various scooter clubs, forging friendships and gathering inspiration at every turn.
The subsequent year saw Steve acquiring his own Vespa GTS 300 HPE, and from that point forward, the pair never looked back.
Steve, with his proactive attitude and generous nature, assumed the roles of trailer loader, oil changer, and tire pressure expert. Meanwhile, Kelmany, with her talent for creativity and organizing memorable road trips, merged their skills to foster a club that revels in the sheer pleasure of riding.
For the duo, the scooter lifestyle has coursed through their veins since their first encounter. Both share an appreciation for the style, music, and imagery associated with the classic MOD culture. Their Vespa romance, which began as a distant dream, materialized when they each had their own set of wheels, cruising through the streets of Ottawa and the National Capital Region, creating friendships and memories. It’s this love affair with the open road that pulses at the core of the club.
The Vespa Zitas is about more than just the rallies and the rides; it’s about the connections made along the way. It’s a place where laughter accompanies a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or a pint of beer, where stories unfold beneath the canopy of a pit-stop tree, and where the call of the next adventure is ever-present.
Whether you’re an experienced rider or a newcomer to the Vespa & Scooter universe, Kelmany and Steve extend a warm welcome. Together, they’ve nurtured an environment where fellowship flourishes, and the essence of Vespa thrives. Join the Vespa Zitas Scooter Club and embark on a journey that transcends the destination—it’s about the people, not just the vehicle.
