Another great scooter from Daniel Hoang and his team at Velvet
Scooters (my second one). Their scooters are prepared to the
highest standard and look stunning. Lots of stainless and chrome
on this SX150 Lambretta.
Thanks Daniel Hoang, your skill is much appreciated. |

I
purchased my 1962 Vespa last year, and the process was seamless.
Daniel Hoang and his team provide exhaustive purchase/transport
information on this website, and it went just as it was
outlined. The job they did restoring the Vespa was outstanding,
and is a real beauty! They deliver just what they promise. I
will offer one cautionary note for someone living in California:
the California DMV has gotten very strict about registering
imported Vespas. They wanted the original title transfer
document from Vietnam, which was difficult to obtain.
Unfortunately, DMV did not inform me that a solution to the
registration problem is to obtain a Surety Bond from an
insurance company. I only found out about this option thanks to
the advice I got from another California resident who had the
same problem registering their imported Velvet Scooters'
scooter. Getting a Surety Bond is a pretty simple process for
the registration. But, it was the only solution I could find. I
would recommend biting the bullet and getting the Surety Bond
right up front in the registration process (if your from CA) so
you can spend more time enjoying the ride on your new, restored
"Velvet Scooters" scooter! Thanks, again, Daniel Hoang and Team for a great
product and providing me with many fun rides on my restored Vespa. |

I love my 1967 Lambretta SX200. It is beautiful and rides great. I
communicated with Daniel for months before purchase and we still
talk months after the purchase. Daniel follows through with after
sale support quickly and with great knowledge. I want to get
another one…I just need more room in my garage for it! |

I ordered a beautiful Tiffany Blue 1964 Vespa VBB Scooter with a
sidecar from Daniel Hoang this past Fall and the whole buying and
shipping process went very smooth. The quality and performance
of the unit is simply amazing, absolutely beautiful! I was
skeptical as I’ve never ordered anything from overseas. However,
Daniel and one of his good buyers assured me that I would be
getting a good quality scooter, I’m very happy! Daniel is a true
professional and he stands by his product. He made the whole
buying experience easy for me. I had photos sent
during the rebuild phase and of the unit being tested, along
with operating instructions. It was all very helpful information
for a first timer (Vespa driver) like myself. When I first drove
it out with my husband, we accidentally scraped the sidecar
damaging the light that sits on the side unit. I told Daniel what
happened and he sent out a new light fixture for me soon after.
All I needed to do is get the sidecar repainted here locally.
Daniel will ship extra paint for touch up purposes with your Vespa
along with the accessories. Daniel and his team are the BEST!
Thank you for the gorgeous restore, Daniel Hoang! I love my scooter! |

I choose the 1966 VBC with side car. The most difficult decision
was what color. Silver/blue or cream or cherry red. As you see
in the pictures the cherry red won out. Really happy with Daniel
Hoang and his workers making the entire process a fun and
exciting event. Daniel was especially helpful giving me the
contact who person accept and deliver the 900 lb box from Los
Angeles port to
my home in Utah. The paper work sent gave my the
ability to register the Vespa at my local DMV with no
problem. I’m a very happy owner at age 81 and will be happy to
provide specifics on the buying/shipping/owning details. I’m
very surprised how much power the scooter has with the side car.
Very satisfactory! |

Dear Daniel Hoang and the Velvet Scooters team. When the crate was opened I
was stunned. The attention to detail was clearly evident. The
add-ons I asked for were expertly installed. She is an absolute
beauty and my wife was thrilled. Everything went smoothly and
the communication was superb. Thanks Velvet Scooters for a job VERY
well done. |

Daniel Hoang and his team at Velvet Scooters just delivered me three
more amazing scooters to bring the total we have done together to
five. These three included a 1956 Lambretta LD150, a 1955 Vespa
VL2T and a 1963 Vespa VBB restored as an MP6 replica. They are
all amazing scooters- beautifully restored and mechanically
exceptional. All three started up and ran great. My biggest
problem is choosing which one to ride! Daniel and his team are the
best at what they do, not to mention fair priced. Daniel is a
great communicator and keeps you involved through every step of
the process. Packing and transport is flawless. Velvet Scooters is
as good as any restorer in Italy and they are the only one based
in Viet Nam that you can trust and have confidence in. |

WOW !!!!! Amazing.
A very special thank you to Daniel Hoang and all his team at
Velvet Scooters, for the care and professionalism shown to us
every step of the way during our recent acquisition of a
beautifully restored 1962 Vespa GS 160. From the moment Daniel
and I spoke on the phone, I felt comfortable that we were in
capable hands. Upon delivery we were left speechless at the
level of detail that goes into each one of these meticulous
restorations.
Totally exceeded our expectations especially to the small
attention to detail like the inclusion of stylish rubber floor
mat, dust/rain cover, spares kit and retro owners manual, was
such a nice touch.
We are so honored to be the next custodian of this gorgeous 55
year old classic, who we have named ‘Giulia”.
Photos cannot do justice. So much love and true passion goes
into bringing these artisan made Vespas back to their former
glory. In my humble opinion, I think they look even better that
they would have when initially rolled off the production floor
all those years ago.
Much appreciation and gratitude for such a great experience.

The best in the business!!!!! If you have to buy a Vespa, go to
Velvet Scooters. Daniel Hoang is the best operator in the business and his
team is the best renovator IN THE WORLD!! I’ve had my VBB 64/150
sport for the past five years and could not be happier. I am now
too old to have another one but if I could I would. Thank You
Daniel Hoang, you’ve given me the mean to remember my youth. George |

I went all in and purchased a 1966 VBB with Sidecar
from Velvet Scooters. I uncrated the bikes and they were flawless.
I was blown away. Upon inspecting how they were packed, it is
easy to see how they have never had a damage claim. The packing
and securing of the bikes to the crates was as professional as
it gets. I chose to fire up the scooter and she fired right up
on the third kick. Two minutes later I was headed down the road
on my maiden voyage. She performed flawlessly, shifted smoothly,
had good power and well, it was just a great experience. Anyone
who has properly considered investing in a vintage restored
scooters has probably heard some horror stories about bikes
restored in Viet Nam. I can unequivocally state that the scooter’s
from Velvet Scooters and team are the real deal. Daniel Hoang and his team
do amazing work and he is a man of his word. If you are
considering investing in a vintage restored scooter, you can do so
with confidence with Velvet Scooters. This is not a paid
for or planted review, I provide this based solely on my own
personal experience. Thanks again Daniel
for the great bike. We will be getting together on a second
soon. |

Hi
Velvet Scooters, I just wanted to say a great big thank you to you & your
team for the excellent job you did with Sophia my beautiful 1967 Vespa VBC. As you know she was a 50th birthday present & it was
great to visit your workshop & see her on my birthday whilst in
Viet Nam. My Vespa (Sophia) is now finally home & all
done with road worthy / safety inspections & fully registered in
QLD Australia. She receives many admiring glances & comments
whilst out & about, folks just love her! Thanks for all your
excellent work & for all your help whenever I’ve contacted you.
To anyone thinking of buying from Daniel Hoang at Velvet Scooters, I can
only say, go ahead, do it, you won’t be disappointed! |

I recently made the exciting decision to buy a classic Vespa,
and it has truly been one of the best investments I've ever
made. From the moment I first laid eyes on it, I knew I had to
have it. The iconic design, with its sleek curves and vibrant
color, instantly captured my heart. It's not just a scooter;
it's a piece of art that turns heads wherever I go.
The buying process was smooth and enjoyable. I researched
different models and found Velvet Scooters who specializes in
classic scooters. Hoang took the time to explain the history of
the Vespa and highlighted the unique features of the model I was
interested in. His passion for these scooters was contagious and
made me even more excited about my purchase.
Once they delivered my Vespa home, the joy of riding it was
unparalleled. The first time I took it for a spin, I felt an
exhilarating sense of freedom. The engine purrs beautifully, and
it handles like a dream, making it perfect for both city streets
and leisurely country rides. I’ve received countless compliments
from friends and strangers alike, and it has sparked so many
delightful conversations.
I was a bit concerned about maintenance, given that it’s a
vintage model, but I’ve found a local mechanic who specializes
in classic scooters. They’ve been incredibly helpful, and
routine maintenance has been straightforward and manageable. I
appreciate the reliability of the Vespa, and the sense of pride
that comes with owning such a legendary piece of machinery.
Beyond the ride itself, I’ve discovered a vibrant community of
Vespa enthusiasts. Joining local clubs and attending meet-ups
has opened up a whole new world of friendships and shared
experiences. It’s wonderful to connect with others who share the
same passion and love for these classic scooters. Whether we’re
swapping tips on maintenance or planning group rides, the
camaraderie is fantastic.
In conclusion, buying my classic Vespa at Velvet Scooters has
been an incredibly fulfilling experience. It’s not just about
getting from point A to point B; it’s about the joy of the
journey, the thrill of the ride, and the connections I’ve made
along the way. I highly recommend anyone considering a classic
scooter to take the plunge—it's an adventure you won’t regret! |

I would not hesitate to recommend Daniel and the team at Velvet

of how the whole importing process works was invaluable. They
built me my dream scooter exactly how I wanted, it arrived in

some spares and a bottle of touch up paint.
I don’t know about other scooter restoration services, but this

The experience with purchasing our first scooter with Velvet
Scooters has been awesome. The website is great – the selection
amazing and we were very excited to place an order. The
processing was great and Daniel kept us informed all the way.
Our crate arrived last week and we were thrilled with the
product – it looks great in the catalog on line – but in person
it is outstanding. My husband viewed the start up video and
notes that Daniel had sent us and we started it up – started
first time. Super smooth and what great fun. We are looking
forward to some fun rides in the summer… I also have a feeling
that it will not be our last scooter. I posted pictures on line
for our friends and they all said WOW. If you are in the market
for a scooter – Velvet Scooters is the ONLY resource you need.
Great customer service an amazing quality product! |

I was quite skeptical, but placed a deposit for a 1960 VBB 150 and as I travel a bit to Asia, actually took the
unusual step of hopping over to Vietnam to check on the scooter
and meet Daniel Hoang in person. I am very happy with it, I had a few
minor problems that where easily fixable and the finish is
absolutely immaculate. I have no reservations in recommending
Velvet Scooters and Daniel Hoang, it has exceeded my expectations. |

Scooter arrived late December 2012 so haven’t really had chance
to ride a great deal, so far have clocked up 850mi have to say
am really pleased with it, the ride is smooth and feels a lot
more stable than my p200!!.
Cant fault Daniel Hoang and his team for communication and for being
helpful nothing was too much trouble.
The scooter attracts attention everywhere i have been all people
saying how fantastic it looks.
Didn't have any problems registering it its a fairly simple task,
make sure you send all relevant documentation required.
Scoot arrived in sturdy wooden packaging well bolted down,
spares were in toolbox, cover, bulbs, spark plug, spark plug
socket, cables, manual and full packet of documentation.
I ordered a bench seat as well as the singles, my opinion the
bench is better as the riding position is better.
Also had indicators fitted which look brilliant.
All in all so far am well impressed with build quality and
finish fair play to Daniel Hoang his scooters do exactly what he states
they do.
Looking forward to getting it run in. |

Hi Vintage Vespa fans,
I bought my ’64 blue VBB after I visited
Velvet Scooters
in Son La in 2014.
He’s 100% customer minded and reliable and I received my VBB as
promised and documented by the outlined pictures. German TÜV
complaint about one minor topic, which I could fix with my local
mechanican. Overall I am quite satisfied with the quality of the
restoration and cannot really add to the extended number of
horror stories about Vietnamese restoration one can find at the

Just on two (2) years now I purchased my 1968 VLB Sprint online
from Daniel Hoang and I was also Velvette enough to have a planned
holiday to Vietnam to visit
Velvet Scooters
to see the finished product
prior to shipping. The Sprint and I now have 3,500 Km on the
clock without missing a beat. Took time out to understand the
tuning of the carb for my local conditions and with the
combination of spark plugs over summer and winter, the Sprint
has not offered any trouble. I also use the Vespa for Moto
Pacing with my son’s cycling team and its a big hit with the
bystanders when you rock past with a 1968 Red Vespa Sprint with
eight (8) team member in tow at 50 Km! Daniel Hoang is always happy to
be there for any support and in fact it even easier having met
him in Vietnam. Lots of fun days ahead. |

I just received my Vespa 90SS and I am very happy about
Velvet Scooters’s
Service in Son La. The Quality of restoration is
extraordinary. I have been to Viet Nam in Nov 2010 and visited
Velvet Scooters
Shop twice. After seeing the Vespas and after talking
to Daniel Hoang I was convinced that Daniel Hoang is committed to deliver a
great service and great Quality. My Vespa was shipped to Hamburg
and I was lucky that customs accepted a customs number for
vintage vehicles of cultural value which saved a lot of money. |

I am one year on from purchasing my 1968 150 Sprint from
Velvet Scooters and I still have the same feeling I had the day
the crate opened. That is what bikes are for me “emotive” and
Velvet
have been more supportive when dealing with questions I had as a
novice. I also believe Vespa’s have Mod DNA and you feel the
urge to wear Fred Perry or plaid. I ride my Vespa twice a week
and it always turns heads from from people 8 to 80, just because
they are something very special and I am glad to be apart of
this. |

Ich habe vor 4 Jahren von Daniel Hoang zwei Vespas gekauft. Mit einer
habe ich nun die 20000 km voll gemacht. Bin bisher sehr
zufrieden. Der Service von Daniel Hoang ist fantastisch. |

I travel to Vietnam for work and love seeing and riding scooters
here! I had a Vespa in the 60s in Australia and knew I needed to
relive those days. After a lot of research and visits to other Vespa restoration businesses and I choose
Velvet
Scooters.
The advice from Daniel Hoang and ease of importing the bike into
Australia was a
breeze.
Once the bike arrived, exactly what I had put together by email
with Daniel. The local road worthy examination station was very
negative that I had bought one in Vietnam, but on examination
and certification, and they were looking for problems said “What
a great restoration job!” it passed with out a problem.
A minor issue with a carbby jet was fixed immediately with a new
one arriving within a week!
I now have 650 Ks on the clock and gets better ever time I ride
it. Looking forward to the 1000 k mark.
Ever time I take it out people want to look at it and take
photos. |

I have been dealing with
Velvet Scooters
for about 4 years now and have purchased 8 scooters from this
shop !! I am not a dealer, I
am a retired ‘ex Mod’ from the 60’s and have purchased a few of
these for friends who didn't have a clue how to order them! I
love the uncrating when another scooter arrives and amongst my
own collection of scooters, 4 are from
Velvet Scooters. The workmanship is
fantastic and the scoots really turn heads ( especially my Quadrophenia ‘Sting’ scoot) |

I’ve bought a Vespa VNB and a Lambretta TV 175 from Nguyen and am
delighted with the finish and quality of both. Nguyen is always
willing to help – and he does respond to emails very quickly
(important in my view). Many thanks |

Picked my Vespa with a sidecar up a couple weeks ago after its 4-week journey
across the Pacific and it absolutely exceeded my expectations.
It looked amazing in the pictures, and even better in person. It
started right up and runs exactly as it should. A simply
beautiful restoration with equal care given to packing and
shipping. If you have any doubts about buying from overseas,
don’t. Daniel and the guys at Velvet
Scooters
are the real deal, and
they provide everything you need to get it registered and titled
in the states, my trip to the DMV was super easy. I’ll
definitely be back for another for my wife at some point. Thanks
guys! |
