If you are reading this article, you are probably tired of riding your classic Vespa while putting up with engine noise and the smell of gasoline on your clothes. Or worse, new green regulations are forcing you to keep your beloved scooter locked in the garage, slowly rusting away. We have good news: thanks to Retrokit, you can convert your scooter to electric in just a few hours, getting back on the road with zero emissions, in total silence, and with a surprisingly smooth riding experience. Sounds good, right? At this point, however, one question naturally arises: how much does Retrokit cost?
A handcrafted product born in the Motor Valley
Retrokit is a plug & play kit developed specifically for Vespa models, so no modifications to the original frame are required. The real value of this system lies not only in its technological development, but above all in how it is made: each kit is a handcrafted product, assembled by hand in Rimini, using components sourced from the legendary Motor Valley of Emilia-Romagna.
Choosing this kit means relying on the care and expertise of people who have lived and breathed engines for generations. Every component is produced with extreme attention to detail, resulting in a high-end artisanal product that has nothing in common with mass industrial manufacturing. It is the excellence of Made in Italy applied to the mobility of the future.
