When you hear Mansory and Monaco Edition in the same sentence, you’re probably picturing a flashy hypercar with carbon fiber armor and wild color options. However, this time, Mansory chose a different kind of vehicle for its customization – the Vespa Elettrica scooter. The Vespa Elettrica borrows its name and draws inspiration from the Mansory Ferrari 458 Spider Monaco Edition, which debuted in 2012 with its Enzo-inspired front end. As its name implies, this Italian scooter is fully electric and prioritizes urban mobility over high performance.
Despite the Vespa’s laid back demeanor,
Mansory‘s take on the iconic scooter line includes more carbon fiber than what
you’d expect to find on a superbike. The lightweight material adorns the front
mudguards, the distinctive side panels with faux vents, the mirrors, the nose
trim, and the accents surrounding the lighting units.
The Vespa’s seat bench boasts genuine
leather upholstery with cross stitching, reminiscent of the bucket seats found
in Mansory-tuned cars. The color scheme takes inspiration from Monaco, with red
and white graphics adorning the scooter. Additionally, the traditional Piaggio
and Vespa emblems have been replaced by Mansory branding.
The tuner left the mechanical components
of the Vespa Elettrica untouched. Therefore, the scooter maintains its stock
rear-mounted 5hp electric motor, which enables a top speed of 70 km/h.
With options for Eco and Power driving modes, the electric two-wheeler can cover
up to 100 km on a single charge. Fortunately, the 4.2 kWh
lithium-ion battery can be fully charged in 4 hours using a 220V outlet.
Mansory’s Vespa Elettrica Monaco Edition
will be produced in a limited run of 99 units, with pricing yet to be
disclosed. Given Mansory’s asking price of €1,190 (US$ 1,268) for a branded barrel
seat with a leather-wrapped top, it’s safe to assume that the Monaco-themed
scooter will come with a hefty price tag. For comparison, the standard Vespa
Elettrica, introduced in 2017, currently retails for US$ 7,999 before taxes in the
U.S. market.
