Vespa's first electric scooter goes on sale in Europe this October

Vespa's first electric scooter will go on sale in Europe in October and in the US at the start of 2019. The silent, battery-powered scooter is an electric version of the much-loved retro Vespa which was first released back in 1946. The re-imagined all-electric scooter, known as the Vespa Elettrica, has a maximum range of 62 miles (100km) and takes around four hours to charge the battery. Manufacturer Piaggio Group has remained tight-lipped about the price of its new scooter, as well as its top speed. It has previously revealed the Vespa Elettrica will be limited to 19pmh (30km/h) when set in Eco driving mode.
