You can’t keep Italjet down—even if you’re a global pandemic. On the occasion of EICMA 2022, the Italian scooter manufacturer is proud to say that it’s sold 7,000 Dragster 125 and 200 scooters so far, all across Europe and Southeast Asia. That’s great news, sure, but EICMA’s primarily a showcase for new models, and Italjet was only too happy to oblige.
The scooter company, based in Castel Guelfo di Bologna, chose EICMA 2022 as the place to introduce not one, but two new scooters in its lineup. The Italjet Dragster 500GP carries through the exciting, trellis-frame design language first seen on the revamped Dragster a couple of years ago—only with more power, as well as a six-speed gearbox. Italjet also introduced the Dragster #e01 Electric—its first-ever electric model, which is due for release in 2023.
