Resembling the Primavera variant, the Elettrica features a more catchy and modern design. One noticeable change is the absence of a side stand on this vehicle, which is priced at IDR 198 million.

According to Ayu Hapsari, the PR andCommunication Manager of PT Piaggio Indonesia, the reason for removing the side stand is based on several considerations.

She explained, “First, we are aligning with its country of origin, Italy. There, electric scooters also do not use side stands.”

She further mentioned, “Second, the removal of the side stand is solely for the safety of Vespa Elettrica owners. Since this motorcycle is silent, without any noise, this is to avoid unexpected situations. For instance, if the side stand is down and suddenly the throttle is applied, there’s a risk of falling.”
