After peeling back the curtain on an electrified version of its iconic Vespa at EICMA last year, Piaggo has now revealed a few key specs for the 2017 event. The silent and stylish Vespa Elettrica leads the storied scooter brand's charge into electric mobility, and offers some of the connected bells and whistles that we've come to expect from vehicles in that space. Vespas have been roaming streets around the world for more than 70 years, and there's hardly a more recognizable name when it comes to step-through two-wheelers. Indeed, more than 18 million have been sold in that time, but each and every one of them has been driven by gasoline engines that pump out pollution and noise. Electric scooters promise to cut down on these negative aspects by offering city folk a greener and quieter way of getting around town. We've seen quite a few companies look to tap into, and even facilitate, this shift toward more sustainable urban transport, including oddball scooters shaped like a box and others that fold up so you can wheel them right into the office. And there are scooter-sharing schemes like Gogoro, which has recently expanded from Asia into Europe. Vespa’s first electric scooter moves from concept to reality. Piaggio has turned up the music at the electric party by debuting its first production electric scooter, the Vespa Elettrica at the EICMA show in Milan. Featured in concept form last year, this new scooter will have peak power of 4 kW, which Piaggio says will have more performance than the 50cc petrol version thanks to the electric motor delivering torque at any speed. The electric Vespa will come in two versions, the standard Elettrica with a more-than-capable range of 62 miles but with those wanting more bang for your buck (literally) the generator-powered Hybrid version, the Elettrica X is said to be able to provide a range of 124 miles. Piaggio claim it will take an estimated four-hours to charge the Elettrica’s lithium-ion battery to completely full, but with batteries charging non-linearly, you can probably expect an 80% top-up in an hour under that. =============== View More ============ Upcoming Bikes in India 2017 and 2018: https://goo.gl/2FkYwi All New Yamaha Motocycles: https://goo.gl/6G9ygd All New Suzuki Motor : https://goo.gl/8NpHHs Hoda All New Model 2018: https://goo.gl/Lr1LKt 2018 Kawasaki Model 2018: https://goo.gl/YuUZNv Custom Triumph Motocycles: https://goo.gl/mEMvU6 All New Motocycles in 2017 tokyo motor show: https://goo.gl/KziMNe All New Honda Motocycles at the Tokyo Motor Show: https://goo.gl/v8dMJJ Please subscribe to receive these channels newest video .
