With the trend going towards electric power for vehicles, perhaps you don’t have to sell your old gas scooter to get an electric one. Maybe a simple kit can do the job for you. Apparently if you are curious of what this is, you may be surprised to find that it comes from a well-known name in the scooter industry, Vespa. The kit is the Electric Vespa Kit from Soundspeed scooters.

The “Complete Kit to Convert Your Old Gas Machine Into a Sleek Sleigh of Electric Luxury” (their words, not ours…) also includes a custom swing-arm, master cylinder, caliper, brake line, motor wheel, controller, dc/dc converter, brake disc, rear shock, fuel gauge, wiring kit and charger. Most of those bits can be purchased separately for the true DIYers out there.

The cost for getting it? $4,200. Not bad if you want to retain your old scooter and have it electric powered.
