Hhhmmmm?

Well, regardless of the price, the new, first-ever electrified scooter showcases a range of 62 miles, and takes approximately four hours to gain full charge within its lithium-ion battery. The Elettrica will also have the most cutting-edge technology, including the current Multimedia Platform many Vespa owners enjoy today.
