A company named Retrospective Scooters sells a vespa E-conversion kit on their website for £3500. Whenever they get an order they must be popping the champagne and celebrating. My maths would suggest that you can do the whole thing (and potentially get better stats than their claimed ones) for near enough half the price. Their kit (in the Photo) basically comprises of an electric hub motor, a motor controller, a battery and some wires. How can they charge £3500 for that?!!?!
So, The Plan:
Build an electric vespa for less money than the kits you can buy off the internet.
