At the heart of the 2022 Vespa Elettrica scooter motorcycle, Vespa features a purpose-built air-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.7 HP (3.4 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 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.
Within MotoLibrary's Vespa archive, this model family spans 4 indexed model years from 2019 to 2022, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
