I think my '84 PK 125 S would be a good candidate for an electric conversion because it is so light (just 198 pounds).Ī question I have for those with the technical know-how is, do you think the fact that it has an automatic transmission makes it easier to convert to electric than if it were a manual tranny PK, since an electric scooter normally has an automatic CVT transmission? Here's a video of an electric vintage Vespa in action: It's been done before, with the Rezistor, so well documented here - and a company in Seattle actually sells vintage Vespas made into electric scooters - Soundspeed Scooters at: If I continue to encounter scaredy-cat scooter mechanics in my area who say things like "I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten-foot pole" when I ask if they could service my newly procured 1984 Vespa PK 125 S Automatica, then my fall-back plan is to embark on a project to turn my beloved Automatica into an Electronica - a true vintage all-electric Vespa scooter. That's right, Electronica, as opposed to Automatica. So I am thinking of turning it from an Automatica into an Electronica. And few mechanics can or want to work on it.
It's a reare scooter, never imported into the USA by Vespa.
I have a 1984 Vespa PK 125 S Automatica scooter, which is Vespa's first automatic transmission scooter model, but it still has a 2-stroke, gas- and oil-burning engine.
