Welcome to Moto Paradiso!

We are a full service restoration and repair shop located in beautiful downtown Santa Barbara, California. With over 15 years of award winning restorations, 6 years as a factory mechanic for Honda & Ducati and 5 years experience as service manager/mechanic at the #1 Ducati dealer in Southern California, Moto Paradiso is THE facility to take your scooter with confidence. We have been authorized by Piaggio USA as a Vintage Vespa Restoration Shop as well as a V.A.P. or Vespa Assistenza Point for service of the new Vespas. Living in Italy has increased our passion for scootering and now we have returned to share this passion with you. Our restorations have garnered first place trophies at both Daytona Beach and Del Mar shows. Involved with scooters since 1989, we are well versed in restorations, repair and performance modifications for all types of scooters. We also offer specialized service for the discriminating rider. We can build the scooter of your dreams! 

Our goal is to preserve and restore vintage scooters as well as sell new and used classics. No longer an obscure passion, collecting scooters is a growing trend. It can actually be an investment as well as a source of endless pleasure. Scooters are quickly becoming a "must have" item these days. Their influence worldwide can be found in every form of advertising from TV to fashion magazines. We have numerous contacts worldwide and we are traveling EVERYWHERE to find more scooters, vintage parts and accessories for all scoots. We are also heavily involved with our local scooter club, the “Vesparados”, by sponsoring rides and events. We look forward to serving you and making your dreams a reality.
