Vespa Elettrica Preview
Tue, 08 Nov 2016
“The Vespa Elettrica will, first and foremost, be a true Vespa, bringing the very latest in electric technology to a vehicle that will retain all the features that have been vital to its success. The style, agility, ease of use and riding pleasure will be the same as the Vespa we have always known, with the addition of technological and innovative connectivity solutions. A perfect mix of excitement, technology, and environmental friendliness that only Vespa can create. Like it has always done in its first seventy years of history.”

A former Motorcycle.com staffer who has gone on to greener pastures, Tom Roderick still can't get the motorcycle bug out of his system. And honestly, we still miss having him around. Tom is now a regular freelance writer and tester for Motorcycle.com when his schedule allows, and his experience, riding ability, writing talent, and quick wit are still a joy to have – even if we don't get to experience it as much as we used to.

How come only Piaggio makes good lookig scooters? Aprilia did have the Havana/Mojito a while ago. That has a handsome bike. I think I would like to have a scooter, but it will have to be a Piaggio, prolly a Vespa.

Vespa just has the style pinned down. If any other company makes something that is remotely similar to Vespa, it will just be another copy and it won't sell, I think.
Vespa just came with a great looking body and kept true to their successes... When something works you stick with it... I love the look of a Vespa and their made from sheet-metal body's with re-enforced welding.. It make the Vespa weigh more and gives it strength... I'm waiting until the electric Vespa's come out in the second half of 2017 as 2018 Vespa's!
