New Vespa with electric motor
The new e-Vespa
We have already seen many conversions to electric scooters, most recently with ours Trip to Italy. You can find a video about a nice conversion to an E-Vespa here: Video electric Vespa. But so far it has always been the case that classic Vespa models have been equipped with more or less modern electric motors and batteries.
This time we will show you a real electric Vespa, straight from the manufacturer. Piaggio will present this project at Eicma in Milan. We are on site and will be in our Eicma 2016 trade fair live ticker also report about it.
Vespa Elettrica available from summer 2017
The electric Vespa should be available from mid-2017. “It will be a true Vespa with the best electric scooter technology. The new vehicle will have all the features that made the Vespa a success, ”said Piaggio.
So the Motorolller, the Vespa, which has so far been sold 18 million times, is supposed to be hers Continuing the triumphant advance worldwide.
You can find more information about this directly at Piaggio Electric Vespa.
Even if I'm a friend of well-groomed “Reng-dengs”, I still think that's very good and right. Because I think that GERADE scooters have proven their worth as city and short-distance vehicles in old towns and large cities and that - at least when the weather is acceptable - they are the most energy-efficient and comfortable way to get around. Without bothering other people like huge SUVs and pickups. If Vespa / Piaggio manages to continue writing the “cultural asset” Vespa into the post-petrol era, then that (in addition to the preservation of historical and individual 2-stroke sheet metal) is certainly a very good thing.
