A man from Ohio couldn't believe his eyes after his wife surprised him with a scooter he had wanted for 10 years.

Steven Lee is seen opening the shed revealing the Vespa GTS scooter which his wife Emily had purchased for him.

Steven told Newsflare: "I have wanted a scooter for a very long time. Our elderly neighbours had a garage sale and their friend put this beautiful Vespa GTS 250ie scooter for sale. My wife immediately bought it then hid it in the shed to surprise me.

"I'm a big guy 6 foot 4 inches and 280lbs, I do powerlifting and am just large in general. I love the idea of zooming around on a little scooter.

"Desires, hobbies, things seem to take a back seat once you're working multiple jobs and married and have a few kids.

"We drive old cars until they break down then get old cars to replace them. This Vespa is like a Mercedes for me, I'll keep it and take care of it forever. It was like that Christmas gift you always hope for to be under the tree but never expect it to be.

"Even when I was looking at getting a scooter I was looking at little cheap 100cc scooters that wouldn't make it long.

"We have 3 kids, house payment, school payments etc. I could never justify buying one for myself."

This footage was filmed on June 28.
