Vespa Electric Scooter 2025 is finally here. And it’s making a bold statement in the electric two-wheeler world. If you’ve always loved the classy Vespa charm but wished for something modern and eco-friendly, this one might just win your heart.
It still carries that retro charm. But now, it packs some serious electric power under its shiny panels.
Timeless design stays
Vespa has not messed with the design much. And that’s a good thing. Because that classic Italian scooter look is what people adore.
The round headlamp is still there. So are the curvy side panels, wide footboard, and chrome touches. You still feel like you’re riding something out of a 60s movie.
But if you look closer, you’ll spot modern touches. The LED lights, digital display, new alloy wheels, and even the charging port are all neatly blended. Vespa clearly wanted to keep the old-world charm alive. But they also knew it needed to feel fresh and relevant.
Range that shocks
Now let’s talk about the biggest surprise. The range. Vespa claims the new electric scooter can go up to 150 km on a single charge.
That’s a massive jump from the earlier models. The older Vespa Elettrica had a real-world range of around 80-100 km. But this new 2025 version really pushes the boundaries.
It also means this scooter is no longer just for city use. You can actually take it for longer commutes or weekend errands without worrying too much about the battery.
Battery & motor updates
Under the seat, there’s a bigger 4.5 kWh lithium-ion battery. It’s non-removable but charges fully in about 5 hours using a regular home socket.
If you use a fast charger, you can go from 0 to 80% in just under 2 hours. That’s quite handy if you’re in a rush.
The electric motor is also stronger now. It makes around 7.5 bhp with 25 Nm torque. That may not sound huge on paper, but on a scooter, it’s more than enough for zippy rides.
The top speed is now about 85 kmph. So it’s not just a quiet cruiser. It can keep up with most traffic in Indian cities.
Ride comfort still top-notch
One thing Vespa never compromises on is ride quality. The 2025 Electric Scooter continues that trend.
The suspension setup is still premium. It gets a single-arm front suspension and dual shock absorbers at the rear. The ride feels smooth even on rough roads.
The seat is wide and nicely cushioned. And there’s good space for both rider and pillion. Footpegs fold out neatly, and the grab rail is strong.
The overall weight has gone up slightly due to the bigger battery. But the scooter feels well-balanced and doesn’t feel heavy while riding.
Smart tech additions
Vespa has quietly added more tech into this model. There’s a new 5-inch TFT digital display. It shows your speed, battery percentage, range, and riding mode.
There’s also Bluetooth connectivity. You can connect your phone and get call alerts, texts, and even turn-by-turn navigation.
And yes, it has riding modes too. You get Eco, Normal, and Sport. Eco saves the most battery. Normal is balanced. And Sport gives you full performance.
Regenerative braking is also there. It helps charge the battery a little when you slow down.
Brakes and tyres
For braking, the 2025 electric Vespa comes with disc brakes on both ends. It also has CBS (Combi Braking System) which helps in safer stops.
The tyres are tubeless and have a nice grip. Perfect for city roads and monsoon puddles.
The scooter rides on 12-inch wheels. They strike a good balance between agility and stability.

Charging options
Vespa offers a standard charger with the scooter. It fits into a regular 5A wall socket. No special setup needed.
There’s also talk of setting up Vespa-exclusive fast-charging stations in metros. But even without them, the home charging setup is enough for daily use.
Who it’s for
This electric scooter is not cheap. Vespa scooters have always been on the premium side. And the electric version is no different.
It’s not for someone just looking for a basic ride. It’s for someone who loves style, cares for the planet, and wants a smooth, powerful city ride.
Young professionals, urban couples, and Vespa fans are the real target here.
Expected price and launch
The price is expected to be around ₹1.45 to ₹1.55 lakh (ex-showroom). That’s a bit higher than Ola, Ather or TVS iQube. But Vespa is banking on its brand and build quality.
The scooter is expected to launch across India by August 2025. Pre-bookings may open a few weeks earlier.
Dealers are already getting a lot of enquiries. Some are even showing demo models in big cities.
Final thoughts
Vespa Electric Scooter 2025 keeps the original soul intact. But it adds real electric power, strong range, and smart features.
It may not be for everyone. But for those who want to ride with a smile and a bit of Italian flair, this scooter ticks many boxes.
It’s a reminder that electric scooters can be fun, stylish, and practical. All at once.
