vespa

Spanish, rfv-sense "mobility scooter". Ultimateria (talk) 14:55, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

On these webpages (and many more) the term is used in that sense

• http://spanish.electricroadscooter.com/supplier-109830-electric-tricycle-scooter
• http://spanish.electricfoldingwheelchair.com/supplier-193451-mobility-scooter-wheelchair
• https://es.dreamstime.com/foto-de-archivo-vespa-de-la-movilidad-image87216324

However, since the term is often qualified, like “vespa de la movilidad” or “vespa eléctrica de la movilidad”, I am strongly inclined to think that here Spanish vespa is simply a generic term for “scooter”. Look at all the uses on this page. These are not mobility scooters, and I doubt they are all of the Vespa brand.  --Lambiam 22:25, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Based on further evidence, I have removed the word “mobility” from the definition. --Lambiam 00:52, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
