No, I haven't spelled it wrong. It is called as 'Electtrica' with two 't's.

Although Piaggio took its own time to offer an electric vehicle, it is late by no means. Unveiled at the EICMA last week, the Electtrica is the electric version of Vespa's Primavera scooter with a lithium-ion battery and a 4kW motor that is guaranteed to get you 62 miles on a single charge.

In combustion engine terms, the Electtrica is powered to fare better than the 50cc scooters while being all nice to the environment and in total silence. Especially with the instant peak torque that starts at zero rpm.

The lithium-ion battery power unit is capable of delivering a continuous power of 2 kW and a peak power of 4 kW and takes just 4 hours for a full recharge. The scooter also benefits from motorsport tech know as KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) that recharges the battery while decelerating.

The Electtrica is also high on electronic packaging with remote key, LED surround lights, USB charger, Ride-by-Wire and two riding modes for you to chose from. And the best part of it all, it gets a Reverse mode as well. How cool is that?

The dashboard sees a 4.3" color TFT display which along with giving you a myriad of information, can connect to your smartphone via the dedicated Vespa Elettrica App. This means you can access calls, music, navigation and get all your notifications right on the dash just like what KYMCO did.

Talking about maintenance, there isn't any. Since the battery-motor combination is a straightforward phenomenon, there are hardly any moving parts. This means no friction, and no wear and tear.

And with the battery efficiency rated to 1000 full charge cycles, one can use the Electtrica for 30,000 to 40,000 miles before you might have to replace the battery or the motor. Now that is some bargain.

Vespa is also adding a hybrid 'X' version to the Electtrica. It will carry an onboard petrol-powered generator to double the range of the scooter by recharging the batteries on the fly.

The Vespa Electtrica can always be customisable with seven color options and seat trims. You also get a special Bluetooth Jet helmet with the scooter's livery you chose. Pricing and availability are TBD.
