With measures being taken in multiple countries to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, particularly scooters, it's no surprise that manufacturers big and small are scrambling to launch the next big thing in the lightweight electric vehicle (LEV) segment. India has long been at the forefront of the electric revolution, with several companies both big and small investing a lot of time, money, and effort into the EV scene.
Latest reports suggest that Italian motorcycle conglomerate, Piaggio, is working hard to release a new electric scooter specific to the Indian market. The large automaker has 2024 in its sights as a realistic go-to-market timeline for the new scooter. This begs the question: what could be in store? We already know that Piaggio has quite a number of electric-powered scooters in its arsenal. In fact, the Piaggio One, the most likely candidate for a production-ready electric scooter, was showcased in EICMA last year. Given that Piaggio's new scooter won't debut for another two years could mean that they're coming up with something special.
