TwinSpark Podcast – Simon Hische on innovations at Prosimo
The world of two-wheelers is a fascinating place where tradition meets innovation. In the latest episode of TwinSpark Motorcycle Podcasts Simon Hische, founder and CEO of prosimo, answered questions.

From a simple idea – the repair of a Vespa-Motors – a vision emerged: Making classic vehicles sustainable and powerful with modern technology.
Prosimo: Quality at automotive level
