Our electric conversion kit for wide-frame Vespa scooters includes a 4kW DC brushless electric motor, rear disc brake, sinusoidal motor controller, custom made swing arm and battery tray, along with a key-less ignition, digital battery gauge, LED headlight conversion and all the necessary cables. The whole kit is powered by either one or two removable LG lithium-ion batteries.
We ship worldwide with full installation instructions on our YouTube channel that you or a local garage can follow.
Alternatively we can install the kit for you and also offer it as an engine option to customers who are looking to carry out a classic scooter restoration with us.
During the build process we strip out the old petrol engine, and install our kit as a direct replacement.
The wide-frame models can carry 1-2 medium batteries, one under each side panel and charging is done from our external charger using a standard household plug and socket. The charger can be carried onboard (depending how many batteries you have) allowing you to charge your battery anywhere you can find a socket.
