Vespa, the Italian scooter brand owned by Piaggio Group, has recently unveiled three all-new electric scooters. These vehicles are Sprint S, Primavera, and Primavera Tech. Not only in terms of design and appearance, but even in features and technology, they are different from one another.
Revealing the two-wheeler electric vehicle, the brand has officially revealed all the details. It is worth noting that all these three models are similar to the internal combustion engine counterpart. Let’s have a closer look at these recently revealed e-scooters.
Gives up to 80 km claimed range.
The main design difference between these recently revealed e-scooters and their ice counterparts is exhaust. It has been officially revealed that the Sprint S and Primavera models are equipped with a 2.3 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, but the Primavera Tech version features a 4.2 kWh unit.
Vespa itself has confirmed that the model with the standard battery pack has a claimed range of 68 kilometres, but the vehicle that comes with the larger battery pack runs up to 80 kilometres. These claimed ranges are in WMTC-certified condition; it means the real-world range will vary depending on the factors.
Delivers up to 200 Nm torque.
The battery packs on each Vespa e-scooter are removable; they all are equipped with an electric motor, but their peak power, continuous power, and peak torque vary depending on the battery pack. Online revealed details show that the Sprint S and Primavera are the models which have a peak power of 3.1 kW, but continuous power is 2.7 kW.
In the revealed details, it appears that the Primavera Tech model has peak and continuous power of 4 kW and 3.6 kW, respectively. The peak torque for each of these models is 200 Nm. According to Vespa, the model with a 2.3 kWh battery pack can reach a top speed of 45 kmph, but the same for the 4.2 kWh version is 67 kmph.
Charging timing and details for each of these Vespa electric scooters also surfaced online in the reports. It is said in the reports that all models support a 500W AC charger; a model that comes with a 2.3 kWh battery pack takes 4 hours for 0 to 80 per cent charging, but the same timings for a 4.2 kWh model are only 2.5 hours.
Maximum kerb weight is 130 kg.
The curb weight of all three Vespa electric scooters has been made public; it is 111 kg for the model with the standard battery pack, but the same for the larger option, which is 130 kg. All three models aren’t too heavy; even old riders can easily control them in stop-and-go traffic if they have a good riding experience.
All these Vespa e-scooters get 12-inch alloy wheels; the front one has 110/70-12 and the rear has 120/70-12 tyres. Released specifications show a 200 mm disc on the front and a 140 mm drum on the rear, but a single-channel anti-locking braking system is only available on Primavera Tech.
These Vespa electric two-wheelers get LED lighting, which means its headlights, taillight and side indicators are LED. In reports, it is mentioned that the Sprint S and Primavera have LCD instrument clusters, but Primavera Tech has a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity.
India’s launch is not yet confirmed.
Apart from showcasing these three electric scooters, Vespa hasn’t revealed any other details. Currently, the brand is selling only two ICE-powered models in the Indian market; they are the Vespa 125 and the Vespa S. As the Italian two-wheeler maker already operates in India, we expect that the brand will soon launch the recently unveiled all-electric model here.
