The Story Behind the Design

This is more than a portrait—it’s a personal celebration of your pride and joy. As a professional photographer (and scooterist family ourselves), we know what your scooter means to you.

We’ll photograph your scooter with thoughtful attention to detail, ensuring space for custom engraving if desired. Your chosen image will be printed on premium PermaJet fine art paper and presented in a high-gloss black bevelled frame. The frame itself is engravable, and the glass overlay can carry custom designs—like scooter details in a Top Trumps layout.

No two commissions are the same. From simple name engravings to fully illustrated builds, each piece is tailored to you.

What Makes It Special

  • Professional Photoshoot of your scooter (local only or by arrangement)
  • Premium inkjet print on archival paper for rich tone and longevity
  • Gloss black bevelled frame, fully engravable
  • Custom glass engraving (text or image)
  • Collaboration on layout, copy space, and personal details
  • Optional design work for supplied logos or sketches
  • A truly personal gift or centrepiece

Perfect For

  • Celebrating a new build or restoration
  • Scooter anniversaries, birthdays or retirements
  • Club presentations or memorials
  • Anyone who lives and breathes scooter culture

Choose Your Service Level

We offer bespoke photographic prints of your scooter, beautifully presented in gloss black bevelled frames—with the option to engrave both the glass and frame. This is not an off-the-shelf product: each piece is carefully crafted to reflect your ride and your story.

Choose from three service levels depending on how personal you’d like to go—from a full Top Trumps-style scooter portrait with glass engraving, to a simpler text message engraved into the frame.

It’s more than a picture—it’s a keepsake.

The Passion Behind the Product

Because we’re part of this world.

  • Man rebuilding a vespa scooter

    Crafted by Scooterists

    Between us, we’ve got decades of experience in our crafts — John’s been engraving glass for over 35 years, and I hold a BA in professional photography. We’re not just doing a job — we’re pouring our skills into something we genuinely care about. This isn’t generic engraving. It’s personal.

  • Three scooterists on a road with trees and vehicles in the background

    Rooted in the Scene

    From rally fields to rebuilds, we know this life inside out. John owns two Vespas and restores them from the ground up. I ride a 1956 Vespa named Eliza Moveslittle. We’ve lived the culture for years, and everything we make is shaped by that shared history — the music, the machines, the meaning.

    We Understand

    Your scooter isn’t just transport — it’s part of who you are. That’s how we feel about ours too. When we got married, our invites featured John's Vespa... complete with a ball and chain on the back wheel. Every piece we create comes from that same place — personal, considered, and rooted in the culture we love.
