2024 Lambretta Elettra First Look [Urban Electric Scooter]

Jimmy Cooper would have protested that he couldn’t trip it from London to Brighton except he stored his pace beneath 25 mph. Regardless, the battery-powered 2024 Lambretta Elettra is right here, and it’s positioned as an city scooter with substantial in-town efficiency and a city-friendly vary.

Whereas the continual output of the electrical motor is a meager 5.4 horsepower, it has an unlimited quantity of grunt at 190 ft-lbs of torque. So, the Elettra will get away from the stoplight with authority. The motor is able to as much as 15 horsepower in spurts, and the highest pace is 68 mph, although it’s not supposed to be a freeway commuter.

The vary of the Elettra is dependent upon how it’s ridden and what energy mode is used—identical to a gasoline-powered scooter. The gold customary of vary estimates is WMTC (World Motorbike Take a look at Cycle), and the Elettra charges 65 miles out of a cost of its 4.6-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. Lambretta claims 79 miles within the Eco mode, with the pace restricted to 25 mph. The vary drops to 44 miles within the trip mode at a most of 45 mph. Click on the Elettra into sport mode, and also you get 39 miles at not more than 50 mph. All of these numbers are greater than passable for city and suburban use.

In case you have entry to a quick charger, the Elettra may be charged from 20 to 80 p.c in 36 minutes—a typical vary of charging. European households run on 220 volts, to allow them to go from a zero to 100% cost in 5.5 hours.

The 2024 Lambretta Elettra has a formidable chassis. The body is forged aluminum, surrounded by metal bodywork with house to retailer a helmet. A horizontally mounted shock is related to an aluminum swingarm by way of a linkage system, whereas the entrance wheel has twin-shock linkage suspension. Pirelli Diablo Rosso Scooter tires are mounted on 12-inch wheels—110/90 entrance and 120/80 rear. Able to trip, the Elettra suggestions the scales at lower than 300 kilos—a few dozen kilos heavier than a Yamaha Zuma 125. The seat top is a manageable 30.7 inches.

We don’t have any data on the minimalist controls. That is undoubtedly a scooter that Jimmy, or another Sixties mod, wouldn’t acknowledge. Nevertheless, Lambretta continues to make vintage-flavored scooters with inner combustion engines.

You’ll doubtless should go to Europe to buy the Lambretta Elettra, as there isn’t a supplier community in the USA. Additionally, we don’t have a worth for this futurist electrical scooter.
