This wooden tricycle-style Vespa toy is cute, but not of Italian production. Instead, the Moulin Roty, found on Baroque Babies blog, comes from France and is a Vespa toy for children.

The wooden Vespa also comes with a story of two little rabbits, Mila and Malo, who are on their way to the seaside for Sunday picnic. It costs 97 euros and while it doesn’t have the excitement that we know from Vespa, getting the children started early is no bad thing. Good things come to those who wait and I only wish I was a kid again…

If you’re a lover of model motorcycles, and you’re serious about Harley Davidson, you’d probably manage to complete this enterprise, though we feel we’d lose patience. This Fat Boy FLSTF is available as a 1:4 scale model, complete with real leather seat, horn and working lights. And when you turn the key, you can hear the original engine.

The only problem is that this model can be collected over 77 instalments, meaning it becomes a long and costly exercise. The first instalment, for example, costs only five euros, while the second costs 11. But if any Harley fan and model motorcycle collector manage to complete the model, let us know!

What a useless test. Why didn’t they see if it accidentally deploys if you hit one of the huge potholes that are becoming the state of our roads lately?
