The electric heart

The beating heart of the Piaggio Wi-Bike is an electric drive unit entirely designed, developed and built by the Piaggio Group. Despite the fact that the drive can develop an amazing 350W of maximum power, it is limited to 250W (and 25 km/h maximum speed) in order to fully comply with the regulation that governs pedal-assisted bicycles. This means that the Piaggio Wi-Bike needs neither a registration plate nor the use of a helmet and it can access bicycle lanes and limited traffic areas. The 400 Wh ion and lithium battery is elegantly housed in correspondence to the vertical pipe and provides particularly long range, between 60 and 120 kilometres depending on the operating mode and conditions.
