Piaggio has long been recognized for its innovation in urban mobility, and with the Piaggio Active 1, they’ve elevated electric mobility to new heights. This sleek, compact electric scooter is designed with the urban commuter in mind, blending style, functionality, and convenience for riders navigating city streets. Let’s take a closer look at what makes the Active 1 a standout choice for those seeking a smart, eco-friendly way to move through the city.

Key Features of the Piaggio Active 1

Electric Powertrain for Emission-Free Rides

  • The Active 1 is powered by an electric 2kw hub motor designed for city commutes, offering clean, quiet, and smooth operation. Electric powertrains are ideal for urban areas, where low emissions and quiet performance contribute to a cleaner, less congested environment.

  • With zero emissions, Piaggio Active 1 owners can reduce their carbon footprint, all while benefiting from lower fuel and maintenance costs associated with electric vehicles.

Impressive Range and Charging Options

  • One of the Active 1’s most compelling features is its extended range, which ensures that riders can tackle daily commutes and city journeys on a single charge. Depending on riding conditions, the Active 1 can cover up to up yo 41 miles in WMTC and up to 53 miles in ECO

  • Charging is convenient, it’s just like a smartphone! A standard home charging cable included.

Compact and Lightweight Build

  • Weighing in at a lightweight approximately 70 kg (about 154 lbs), the Active 1 is incredibly easy to maneuver and park. This makes it an excellent choice for navigating tight city streets and easily fitting into tight parking spaces (which makes them awesome within Rino and throughout Denver!).

  • The Active 1’s compact design not only adds convenience but also improves handling, making it ideal for riders of all experience levels.

Advanced Digital Display and Connectivity

  • Piaggio has equipped the Active 1 with an intuitive digital display that provides all essential information, including speed, battery life, and range. The clear display is easy to read at a glance, so riders can stay focused on the road.

  • For tech-savvy riders, the Active 1 supports Bluetooth connectivity with the Piaggio app, which allows for hands free calls, remote monitoring of battery status, trip data, and other key information. This connectivity enhances the rider’s experience and allows them to stay connected to their scooter through their smartphone.

Three Riding Modes for Flexible Performance

  • The Active 1 offers three riding modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport. Each mode provides a different balance of performance and battery usage, letting riders adjust to various road conditions or prioritize range and efficiency.

    • Eco Mode: Ideal for maximizing range, this mode conserves battery power by moderating speed and acceleration.

    • Normal Mode: The default setting for balanced performance, offering a smooth, steady ride.

    • Sport Mode: For those who want a bit more excitement, Sport Mode provides quicker acceleration, perfect for getting around in traffic or when you need an extra boost.

Regenerative Braking for Efficiency

  • The Active 1 is equipped with regenerative braking, a feature that captures energy from braking and redirects it to recharge the battery. This technology not only enhances range but also provides smoother, more controlled braking.

Stylish, Modern Design with Practical Storage

  • Piaggio has carefully crafted the Active 1 with modern, streamlined aesthetics. The sleek look makes it a stylish choice, with a minimalist design that appeals to those who appreciate modern Italian design.

  • Despite its compact size, the Active 1 doesn’t skimp on storage. It has a generous under-seat compartment ideal for storing essentials like a helmet, bags, or groceries, which adds practicality for daily errands and commutes.

Eco-Friendly Build and Cost-Efficiency

  • Electric scooters, like the Active 1, are considerably more cost-effective over time compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. The reduced need for fuel and fewer moving parts translate to lower maintenance costs and fewer trips to the mechanic.

  • Designed with the environment in mind, the Active 1 appeals to eco-conscious riders looking to lower their overall environmental impact. Choosing an electric scooter not only reduces emissions but also contributes to quieter, less polluted urban spaces.

Benefits of Choosing the Piaggio Active 1

  • Environmentally Friendly: It’s a smart choice for eco-conscious riders, as it’s powered by electricity and offers emission-free transportation.
