Clickncollecte present our 'Scooter' T-shirt. A quality (unisex) printed 100% cotton t-shirt with a design dedicated to the scooter phenomenon, which took hold in the UK and still today, more than ever, two stroke machines such as Vespa and Lambretta remain popular. Anyone that has ever ridden a vintage scooter will forever smell the two stroke mix in their lungs and the unique sound of the engine. We pay hommage to the two most popular manufacturers of the 1960s. A great gift for him. A great gift for her.

The scooter phenomenon of the 1960s can be described as a cultural revolution that swept across Europe and North America. During this time, scooters became a symbol of youth rebellion, fashion, and freedom. Inspired by the Italian Vespa and Lambretta scooters, young people embraced the sleek and stylish design, as well as the ease of maneuverability in crowded city streets. Scooter clubs sprung up in major cities, with members sporting distinctive clothing and hairstyles. Mod culture, with its emphasis on music, fashion, and style, became closely associated with scooters. The 1960s scooter phenomenon paved the way for a new wave of youth culture, breaking away from the traditional norms of society and embracing a more vibrant and individualistic lifestyle. Today, the legacy of this phenomenon can still be seen in the continued popularity of scooters as a symbol of youth and rebellion.

The 2 stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with only two strokes of the piston. It is commonly used in small and lightweight applications such as motorcycles, chainsaws, and outboard motors. Unlike the 4 stroke engine, the 2 stroke engine does not have separate intake and exhaust strokes. Instead, it combines the intake and compression strokes into one, and the combustion and exhaust strokes into another. This design allows the engine to generate power with every revolution of the crankshaft, resulting in a higher power-to-weight ratio compared to its 4 stroke counterpart. However, the 2 stroke engine tends to produce more emissions and consume more fuel due to its simpler design. Nonetheless, it remains popular in certain industries for its simplicity, compactness, and high power output.
