With the 2023 edition of EICMA (International Cycle, Motorcycle and Accessories Exhibition) embracing electric mobility confidently, Lambretta, the Italian two-wheeler maker, has recently presented its electric scooter concept. Called the Elettra, it gives clues to the brand's first production-spec electric scooter. The concept vehicle will go into production soon, according to the company. From an aesthetic point of view, the modern electric scooter comes with a style sheet of its own. In the words of Lambretta, the Elettra evolves the design of its ancestors, revealing sharp and decisive lines of the front. Interestingly, there is a feature that enables you to lift the rear bodywork, revealing the vehicle's 12-inch rear wheel, monoshock, and 15bhp electric motor.

Lambretta Elettra: Specifications
Lambretta says that the said electric motor returns a claimed top speed of 110km/h. On offer are 3 riding modes: Ride, Sport, and Eco, which promises a maximum range of 127 kilometres. Tipping the scales at 135kg, the Lambretta Elettra features a 4.6 kWh battery pack, which can be charged up to 80 per cent in approximately 35 minutes using a fast charger. Meanwhile, a 220V home EV charger can do the same in approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes.
Other bits include a hexagonal headlamp, signature trailing link front suspension, and 780mm seat height. Unveiled for the international market, there is not even a hint of the Lambretta Elettra making its way to the Indian market.
Royal Enfield Him-E at EICMA 2023
The two-wheeler EV space also saw an Indian entrant, the Royal Enfield Him-E. The all-electric Him-E is not just a concept but also a 'test laboratory' for promoting sustainable mobility solutions, according to the manufacturer. Not much is known about the Him-E, but we do know that its battery will be designed in-house, while the motor and controller will be outsourced. Expect the 'High Performance' Him-E to share its underpinnings with the Stark VARG electric dirt bike, which comes equipped with 59bhp and 79bhp motors.
Taking inspiration from the all-new Himalayan, the Him-E retains the rugged and purposeful aesthetics of the ICE counterpart. The Him-E features a circular LED headlamp, a large windscreen, a single-piece seat, a modified fuel tank to house the charging socket, SM Pro Platinum spoke wheels, petal-type discs, upside-down front forks, as well as an adjustable rear monoshock.
