Theeere we go! Thank you for walking me through that. Nice little picture and all.

I gotta say that it's a step in the right direction, but the non-standard format and shear weight are a bit of a bummer for me. I wish they would have used two smaller batteries like in the Gogoro. That said, unlike the original, this is finally checking enough boxes that I'll be checking it out if I get a chance; the Piaggio One had too much trouble getting me up to speed, but this might do it and work out for a city runaround. I'm eager to hear how your ownership goes!

I so wish Gogoro had a foot in the US.

The removable battery of the new Primavera and Sprint Elettrica is definitely a highlight, but based on what's at the bottom of the previously linked page (https://www.vespa.com/us_EN/landing-page/new-primavera-and-new-sprint-s/), these versions only come in 45kmh variants. Not sure why, but that's likely one reason they still offer the standard 70kph Elettrica.

in this brochure they have the Primavera Tech Elettrica available as a 70. (But the US might not get it...?)

It looks to me like they just renamed the conventional Elettrica to "Primavera Tech Elettrica." Because they don't specifically have details about the battery it's impossible to know for sure.

Got my 2024 Elettrica, the battery is _not_ removable, counter to statements in the Vespa site. But I did find a working 20A AC plug in my Condo's garage, so no worries. This motorcycle is a joy to zip around in. Reverse has been useful, Eco is great for when I am on 25mph roads to keep me at bay.

Vespa accessories have been a problem though, all (minus key) ordered in February, still not here: bug/windscreen, top box with backrest, spring loaded front luggage carrier, and spare (red) key.
