And an electric PCX too

It's an easy bet that we'll see a lot of electric two wheelers in the very near future.

I like the ev Cup - a weirdly attractive e-"retro"....if you can call retro something that just looks like it has always done.

Any word on when the Vespa electtra will be released?

There is no good reason for an electrical vehicle to look like a Honda Cub.
They need to stop trying to make electric vehicles look like internal combustion powered vehicles. Modern scooters and motorcycles look the way they do because they evolved into the best layout for that particular power source. Once the design of electric vehicles is driven by the requirements and possibilities of that particular power source, they will make a lot more sense and work a lot better.
I am waiting for someone to really do a fresh sheet approach to designing an electric two wheeled vehicle.

I'm with you here. Electrification would give such nice degrees of freedom for the designers, it's a shame they haven't used it much. On that note, I'm a bit tired to that those who do, mostly seem to think e-vehicles have to look like they are taken from the Bladerunner 2020...

I agree with the above. that Honda link above- looks like an ebay buy that's had a Chinese electric kit thrown on? maybe the wheels & saddle are clues to newness.

looks kinda plastic-y

Here's one example, although it leaves me entirely unmoved:

As much as I dislike what I call the George Jetson School of Industrial Design, as applied to the majority of maxi-scoot designs, what I see in two-wheel EVs strikes me more like early, glitchy William Gibson. There's relatively little of this silliness in the automotive world - whatever else one can say about Tesla, most would agree they've got the form-factor thing down cold - so why put up with it just because we're short a pair of wheels?
