Rider Profile

Best ForNote: the specifications provided are for the 25 km/h variant, not the 45 km/h version named, so figures like top speed likely differ from the actual vehicle; suitable for riders of any experience level including new riders and moped-license holders.
PurposeDesigned purely as a quiet, zero-emission urban commuter for short hops around town rather than for speed or distance.
Rider FitVery light and low seat height make it easy to handle for smaller or less physically strong riders, including at a stop or when maneuvering by hand.
CharacterA stylish, tech-forward, eco-conscious take on the classic Vespa scooter, appealing to riders who value design and sustainability over performance.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, spirited cornering, or riders who need speed and range beyond a short urban commute.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2023 Vespa Elettrica 45 Kmh, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
