Modern Vespa

Whoever wrote this seems to have copied the press release verbatim, without checking to see if every single Chinese company that makes this exact body style has an electric version available or in the works, including several that already hawk one in the UK.

"The Electa retails for the equivalent of around $4,500 USD, making it a rather impressive option, value and performance-wise. " makes you wonder if One Moto sends out a big bag of cocaine with every press release, because that's the only way this makes any sense.

Those are available on CL in my area.

They look scooter-ish I guess.

Makes me want to ride out into the sand and fix my hair.

And I'm just thinking of how challenging it would be to get out of that soft sand *uphill*. And harder with the weight of a GTS

"I can't believe you forgot the extension cord," she said, gazing out forlornly at the vast sea that separated them from the people who made the scooter and exaggerated about it's speed in the sand and range between charges.
"There's one in my Tesla," he replied, "And in six hours it will be charged. Then we can charge this One Moto for a couple hours and ride off the beach."
"We're two feet from the parking lot."
"I know," he replied. "It's just that these things really suck. I touched the paint and touched my face and now it feels like my skin is peeling away."

"Are you sure Schrödinger's kitten is going to be okay in that box?"

OP- please let One Moto know I'm interested in a job in their marketing department.

Do you ever lie awake at night wondering what you can do to increase your chances of getting run off the road in Alabama?

He looks totally self-absorbed.
She looks totally bored.

Waxed-chested 'metro men'...!



Would that image really sell the scoot?

I think this is more likely to be what is on her wishlist...

It reminds me of something.

Can't think what it is though.

Let me win the lottery and I will see if I can get 1, then I want some portable solar panels that can charge my ride while I am in the plant, at work, might have to use that handicapped parking permit that i qualify for but keep saying No to, that way scooter would be parking more securely..oh, maybe the darn construction will be finished and we get some of our motorcycle parking back.

"Meanwhile, the scooter is powered by a brushless DC motor with 3.2 kW, or 4.3 horsepower of continuous output, and is capable of hitting a top speed of 60 miles per hour. "


Downhill with a 60mph tailwind.

If you put the solar panels on a trailer and hook it to the scooter, perpetual motion. Except at night.

It appears it got 'Sean Wotherspoon-ed' already.
Or was this Bieber giving us a clue on his coming Vespa design?

The blurb says carrying capacity of 150kg. So trim n sexy couples only.

According to the owners manual, you tie the 20 foot reinforced charging cable to the bumper of a Tesla. The last few pages are prayers to recite if you go over 70.

Motovista, you seem like you really reeaaaalllly like it!

Want to go in halves on a container?

There is a video. The front suspension of death is worth a look. 00:33

At Alibaba $456 per piece. At US retailer, measly $2600. Nice work.

But not even off a precipice ...

Doesn't look like the front rack would hold a lot of sheep, either.

Rack of lamb?
Racks are for the dogs.
Sheep ride in style thank you very much.

Watching that video like:
"I don't know what he's talking about this seems total- OMG WHAT THE **** "

When did you start pulling local camgirls?

Happy New Year.

Let me correct you there, those are referred to as girlfriends in Kiwiland.
