LAMBRETTA'S ELETTRA ELECTRIC SCOOTER UNVEILED
The Lambretta Elettra is the Italian brand's first fully electric scooter, unveiled at EICMA 2023 in Milan. It fuses 77 years of Lambretta heritage with modern electric technology, blending retro-inspired lines with futuristic touches like a glowing LED light strip. Built for the contemporary urban commuter, the Elettra pairs a striking design with real performance, reaching a claimed top speed of 110 km/h.
What is the Lambretta Elettra?
In an impressive showcase of futurism coupled with tradition, Italian vehicle company Lambretta unveiled the Elettra at the International Motorcycle and Accessories Exhibition (EICMA) 2023 in Milan. The Elettra is an electric scooter with a kinetic, hydraulic rear-end design, and it drew attention for its inventive details and state-of-the-art features. Using its long history as a foundation, Lambretta combined design cues from the past with the latest technologies to suit today's city rider. According to EICMA, the standout detail is the rear bodywork that lifts fully to reveal the electric components beneath. A semi-blue LED lighting strip gives the scooter a glow-in-the-dark, cyber-city aesthetic.
What does the Elettra look like?
The Elettra has now moved beyond the concept phase toward production, with a sleek design free from traditional clutter. It relies on a geometric, rubberless handle design and a hexagonal white beam that ensures safe night-time riding through enhanced visibility. Two additional front lights at the lower end help the rider read road bumps effectively. Blue-green accents playfully complement the silver, sleek contours of the scooter, giving the Elettra a distinct character. As RideApart notes, the near-production machine rolls on 12-inch wheels with trail-link front suspension.
What are the Lambretta Elettra specs?
The Elettra is built around an 11 kW (15 horsepower) electric motor, so it promises performance to match its looks. The lithium battery offers 4.6 kWh of capacity and charges in about five hours and 30 minutes from a standard 220-volt home outlet. A fast-charging feature takes the battery to 80 percent in roughly 35 minutes at a public charging station. With a top speed of 110 km/h, the Elettra is a genuinely capable urban commuter rather than a city runabout. The release date is yet to be disclosed, but anticipation around the Elettra remains high.
