The Piaggio Ape (that’s “app-eh,” not “ape”) E-City will feature a long flat battery mounted low in the chassis.

The electric revolution comes in various shapes and sizes. We are all very familiar with the intricacies of electric cars, but a category that sometimes gets overlooked is scooters. This may be because there hasn’t been an example that shines like a beacon of hope the way Tesla does. Until now, that is, and the scooter we are talking about today is the Etergo AppScooter

Whether or not you call the BST HyperTEK a thing of beauty like the Ducati Supermono or 888 is up to you, but there’s no denying that the organic-looking carbon fiber frame is a fantastic bit of engineering. Similarly, the copper honeycomb heat sink (?) that occupies the traditional “radiator” position up front, finned aluminum motor, and slick, single-sided rear swingarm also look top-notch
