If someone told you about a new PF40 designed by Italian design house Pininfarina you might think it’s about a new take on the iconic Ferrari F40. In reality, things couldn’t be more different though as the PF40 is a fully electric moped sold by a Duch company called Eysing. The PF40 is the first product of the collaboration between Pininfarina and Eysing. The retro-futuristic design of the e-mobed is inspired by motorcycles of the ’30s. Note that Eysing was a car and motorcycle manufacturer founded back in 1903, which explains the styling references. The PF40 has a slim and sculpted body, a vintage round headlight, an analog tachometer, and black spoked 26-inch wheels made of polished aluminum. In front of the saddle, there is a small storage compartment with a transparent cover. Besides the styling, Pininfarina also designed the chassis of the e-moped.
The electric motor produces 2.6 hp and is mounted on the lower part of the vehicle alongside the 35 Ah
lithium-ion battery. Top speed is limited to either 25 km/h or 45 km/h depending on the version. The estimated range between charges is
80-100 km. Charging takes 8 hours from a regular outlet or 4
hours from a quick charger. The e-moped is quite lightweight, tipping the
scales at 60 kg. The maximum allowed weight is 175 kg including driver, luggage, and accessories. This means that in order to ride it
safely, you need to weigh less than 115 kg with your clothing.
The Eysing PF40 premiered at Masters Expo
2022 in Amsterdam and is already available for pre-orders from the official
website. However, the first deliveries are scheduled for 2024, so prospective
buyers need to be armed with patience. They also need to dig deep into their
pockets, as pricing for the stylish fully electric two-wheeler starts from
€13,780 (the equivalent of US$ 14,530 at today’s exchange rates). With such a high
price you are probably worried about someone stealing your e-moped. Thankfully,
the owners will be able to track the location of the vehicle at any time
through the Eysing Connect App on their smartphone. According to the company,
if the PF40 is not where you left it, their “security experts” will “locate and
recover the e-moped”.
