Yup, here it is. We’re not sure why it’s taken this long to create an electric scooter, but Vespa says it will be sold in the second half of next year.
We have no details whatsoever – no range, speed, cost, or whether it will come to Canada – but at least we know what the new Vespa Electric will look like: like every other Vespa scooter but with a few blue bits, to our jaded eyes.
“The project confirms Vespa Electric’s commitment not only in the Piaggio Group to move people but in changing the way in which people move, ” says Vespa, after we ran the official comment in Italian through Google Translate. Well, okay – get on with it then!
For pete’s sake, just make the thing electric, without the already dated iMac/Tron blue headlight and accents.
And in other news, Chrysler has decided there is a business case for building mini-vans.
