According to recent updates on the RideApart, Lambretta emphasizes that the production iteration of the Elettra will closely mirror the conceptual version, shying away from labeling it a mere concept. Positioned as a pre-production model currently undergoing testing, the Elettra promises to reshape the future of urban commuting.

In a design reminiscent of the iconic Lambretta Series 1, the Elettra seamlessly blends classic charm with modern features. Its LED lighting, hexagon-shaped headlamps, and single-seat layout evoke a timeless aesthetic. Noteworthy innovations include a button-like brake, and the thick, boxy side body design uniquely captures the essence of Lambretta's design language.

The Lambretta Elettra also supported by a 4.6-kilowatt hour lithium battery, which Lambretta says will charge in about five and a half hours using a 220-volt outlet. (Picture from: RideApart)

Underneath its sleek exterior, the Lambretta Elettra boasts a robust 4 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), flexing its muscles with 11 kW of power or an impressive 15 horsepower and 258 Nm of torque. Speed enthusiasts will appreciate its top speed of 110 kilometers per hour.

Distinguishing itself in the electric scooter arena, the Lambretta Elettra introduces three distinct driving modes: Eco, Ride, and Sport. The scooter's range extends up to 127 km on a single charge, assuming a leisurely average speed of around 40 km per hour. However, at a more spirited 80 km per hour, the range diminishes to approximately 60 km. Notably, external factors such as wind conditions can influence the overall range.
