I våras presenterade Piaggio den eldrivna scootermodellen Piaggio 1 och nu är det dags för lansering. Prislappen är från 32.900 och då får du en moped som toppar 45 km/h och som tar sig runt 5,5 mil på en laddning. Sen finns det även en version som heter 1 Active (39.900 kronor) och den gör istället 60 km/h och tar sig 6,6 mil. Kör du dock i ECO-läget (toppfart 30 km/h) tar du dig istället 8,5 mil. Instrumentpanelen består av en färgskärm på 5,5 tum som visar all information du kan tänkas behöva som hastighet, batterinivå, räckvidd och olika typer av kördata. När batteriet är slut kan du om du vill plocka med dig det hem och ladda där. En full laddning ska ta runt sex timmar.
Pressmeddelande The Piaggio Group once again confirms itself at the forefront in the development of smart solutions for urban mobility, launching the new Piaggio 1 , a vehicle that revolutionizes the e-scooter concept.
Piaggio 1 combines the winning features of the most modern e-scooter - agility and lightness for urban commuting combined with essentiality and practicality - with the quality and reliability of Piaggio scooters.
This means first and foremost safety, thanks to a solid chassis devoted to driving pleasure, but also an attractive design with attention to every detail, high-level comfort and habitability and extensive technological equipment, which includes color digital instrumentation, lights full LED and keyless system.
Piaggio 1 is also the only e-scooter in its category with a large compartment under the saddle, capable of holding a full jet helmet.
Piaggio 1 is powered by an electric motor integrated into the rear wheel: the moped version (Piaggio 1), with a speed limited to 45 km / h, delivers a power of 1.2 kW, while the motorcycle version (Piaggio 1 Active) has a 2 kW unit.
In both versions the battery is positioned under the saddle, easily removable in a few seconds and transportable to recharge comfortably at home or in the office.
Piaggio 1
Speed 45 km / h, autonomy up to 55 km in ECO *, up to 48 km in SPORT (WMTC cycle)
Piaggio 1 Active
Speed 60 km / h, autonomy up to 85 km in ECO *, up to 66 km in SPORT (WMTC cycle)
The design: rational, but not trivial
The original design of Piaggio 1 marries the essentiality dictated by the needs of urban electric mobility but without sacrificing the unmistakable style, quality of materials and assemblies that characterize the entire range of Piaggio scooters.
The front shield is at the same time compact and protective and incorporates in the upper part the classic “tie” that elegantly distinguishes Piaggio vehicles. On the sides stand out the LED headlights , whose particular design recalls the sharp and arched lines that are found in the side view of the vehicle, giving the whole a light and dynamic image. The tail, slender and slender, ends with the slim rear light unit, also LED.
The general quality is perceived not only by the characteristics of the materials and the precision of the assemblies, but also by the attention to detail such as the particular three-dimensional hexagonal motif , inspired by the Piaggio logo, which moves the surfaces of the shield and sides and by the double coating of the saddle, characterized on the sides by an unprecedented portion with a glossy finish.
Great attention has been paid to ergonomics: despite its compact size, the saddle-footrest-handlebar triangle traces exactly the proportions of the traditional scooters in the Piaggio range. These measures are transformed into a comfortable driving position , thanks also to the flat and spacious footrest , while the passenger benefits from practical and sturdy removable footboards.
The handlebar enhances the rationality of the project: devoid of bulky plastics, it houses a large 5.5 "color LCD digital display in the center that is always perfectly legible thanks to the twilight sensor that adapts the background and color of the characters according to the detected light conditions ( day / night mode).
The information is shown through a graphic scheme of simple and immediate reading, but of great aesthetic impact: in the central part the speed indication is surrounded by indicators of the level of energy used or recovered while driving, by the state of charge of the battery and from the residual range in km, as well as from the numerous travel information, which can be selected using the MODE button, located both on the instrument panel and on the left control block: instant and average energy consumption, travel time, total and partial odometer (Trip A and B). The driving mode is shown in the lower part of the display, which can be selected using the specific MAP button on the right control block.
Driving: getting around has never been easier
Piaggio 1 is first and foremost a user friendly vehicle , which aims to improve and simplify everyday urban travel, an attitude that is perceived not only in driving, but in any operation, starting from ignition.
Thanks to the keyless system , Piaggio 1 does not require the traditional key, and can be started using the remote control and acting on a practical knob, which replaces the classic ignition switch: to start the vehicle, simply press the release button on the remote control (the unlocking is signaled by an acoustic warning and by the turning on of the luminous ring of the knob) and move the knob to the ON position.
To leave, simply press the MAP button on the right side of the handlebar (holding the brake lever pressed), selecting one of the two driving modes available: ECO and Sport (to which is added the Reverse mode , a reverse gear that can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary to facilitate handling of the Piaggio 1 in confined spaces).
In ECO mode , aimed at energy saving, you get a longer battery life; speed is limited to 30 km / h and acceleration is more progressive. Sport, on the other hand, is the basic driving mode, in which the full power of the engine is exploited.
Maximum practicality: the battery is removable and does not take up space in the compartment under the saddle
Piaggio 1 was also created with the aim of making battery recharging operations as easy as possible: in this way, autonomy will never represent a problem in commuting from home to work or in any type of urban movement.
In all versions the battery can be removed in a few seconds by disconnecting the cable that connects it to the vehicle; equipped with a handle , it is easily transportable to be able to recharge comfortably at home, in the office or in any other place.
Version 1 is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 1.4 kWh and a weight of 10 kg, while the version 1 Active adopts a battery with a greater capacity, 2.3 kWh, for a weight of 15 kg.
The recharging operations are the simplest you can imagine: the lithium-ion battery, exactly like the one that equips modern smartphones, does not require maintenance or special precautions and to recharge it simply connect it to the charger supplied with the vehicle.
The standard time required for a full charge is 6 hours (with 220 V voltage). The battery guarantees excellent efficiency up to 800 complete charging cycles; after 800 cycles, the battery retains in any case 70% of its capacity and remains perfectly usable.
The battery is positioned in the compartment under the saddle, without however compromising its functionality: Piaggio 1 is therefore the only e-scooter in its class to offer a significant load capacity, with an under-saddle compartment capable of accommodating a full jet helmet .
The saddle opens by operating the ignition switch otherwise, if the battery has been removed, thanks to a special lock on the left side panel, whose key is hidden inside the remote control.
Other features that contribute to making Piaggio 1 a champion of functionality and usability in the city are represented by the saddle, comfortable and ergonomic and with a ground clearance of only 770 mm, so as to never put drivers of any height in difficulty when stopping at traffic lights. and during parking maneuvers, and from the practical bag hook and the USB socket, equipped with a waterproof rubber cover, in the back shield.
The technique
The electric motor of 1, developed by Piaggio, is of the hub type, i.e. integrated into the rear wheel hub: a choice that contributes to making the vehicle layout extremely simple and compact .
Version 1 is equipped with an electric motor that delivers a continuous power of 1.2 kW , while in version 1 Active the power is 2 kW . Values ??that make it possible to obtain performance comparable to that of traditional 50 cc scooters, combined with the typical brilliant delivery in the starting point of electric motors, which always guarantees agile and pleasant driving on city routes.
Thanks to the lightness, the modern lithium-ion battery and an efficient kinetic energy recovery system (KERS, Kinetic Energy Recovery System), which recharges during deceleration phases, all versions of Piaggio 1 guarantee excellent autonomy, with distances of up to 85 km in the 1 Active version.
Piaggio 1 is an extremely light vehicle (75 kg without battery, 79 kg the 1 Active version), but it does not renounce a refined chassis, adopting the same technical solutions as traditional Piaggio scooters: the frame, designed for the performance and stresses of the for city use, it is a high-strength steel monotube with pressed sheet metal elements. The suspension system uses a single arm with coil spring and hydraulic single shock absorber at the front, while a double hydraulic shock absorber operates at the rear, to the benefit of ride comfort and safety.
Powerful and well-modulated braking, which is ensured, both at the front and at the rear, by a large 175 mm disc brake with hydraulic control. Version 1 Active is equipped with CBS combined braking.
Versions and colors
Piaggio 1 is offered in a dual range of colors : Forever Gray , Forever White and Forever Black are the three more sober colors, which underline its essential and clean design, while Sunshine Mix , Arctic Mix and Forest Mix are three two-tone liveries that enhance it. the younger and fresher soul. In the Mix colors, the saddle has a seat characterized by a gray upholstery, which creates a greater contrast with the side inserts in glossy black.
The colors are available for all versions. The 1 Active version is aesthetically distinguished from the other two by the red friezes on the rear swingarm.
