The iconic Italian brand Vespa Electric Scooter, known globally for its premium retro scooters, is now making waves with its entry into the electric two-wheeler space. The all-new Vespa Electric Scooter combines the timeless Vespa styling with modern electric mobility, creating an offering that is both nostalgic and forward-looking.
Design That Stays True to Its Legacy
The Vespa electric model, likely to be launched as Vespa Elettrica, retains its classic curves, round headlamps, chrome accents, and vibrant color options. It offers a premium finish that reflects Vespa’s heritage while catering to the new-age eco-conscious rider. The sleek silhouette and metal body continue to uphold the legacy of Vespa’s globally recognized design DNA.
Battery, Performance and Range
The Vespa Electric Scooter is expected to come with a 4.2 kWh lithium-ion battery, offering a real-world range of up to 100 kilometers on a single charge. The electric motor will deliver smooth torque and near-silent acceleration, making city commuting effortless and refined. With a top speed of around 70 km/h, it is ideal for daily urban use. The battery is expected to be fully rechargeable in approximately 4 to 5 hours using a standard charger.
Smart Connectivity and Features
Equipped with a full digital instrument cluster, the Vespa EV will support smartphone pairing, ride statistics, navigation assistance, and battery monitoring. Regenerative braking, reverse mode, USB charging, and multiple riding modes are also expected, elevating the ride experience to international standards. The scooter will offer premium ride comfort with telescopic front suspension and broader tires for added stability.
Expected Price in India and Launch Timeline
The Vespa Electric Scooter is expected to be priced between ₹1.40 lakh and ₹1.60 lakh (ex-showroom) in India, positioning it as a premium electric scooter rivaling the likes of Ather 450X, TVS iQube, and Ola S1 Pro. Piaggio may officially launch the Vespa Elettrica in India by late 2025 or early 2026, starting in metro cities with a strong dealer presence.
Why Vespa Electric Could Be a Game-Changer
Vespa’s entry into the EV segment brings a blend of heritage, style, and sustainability, which sets it apart in a crowded electric scooter market. While most EVs focus on tech or utility, Vespa delivers all of that with unmatched aesthetic appeal. It’s ideal for those who want a scooter that performs efficiently and turns heads on the road.
