At the heart of the 2025 Vespa Elettrica Red 45 MPH scooter motorcycle, Vespa features a purpose-built air-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.8 HP (3.5 kW) while maximum torque reaches 200 Nm (147.5 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the Elettrica Red 45 MPH measures 130 kg (287 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
