Piaggio 1 MY23
Piaggio 1 combines the winning features of the most modern e-scooter – agility and lightness for urban commuting combined with essentiality and practicality – with the quality and reliability of Piaggio scooters.
This means first and foremost safety, thanks to a solid chassis devoted to driving pleasure, but also an attractive design, high-level comfort and habitability and extensive technological equipment, which includes color digital instrumentation, full LED lights and keyless system. . Piaggio 1 is also the only e-scooter in its category with a large compartment under the saddle, capable of holding a full jet helmet.
Thanks to the interventions carried out on the Power Unit, the electric motor that equips the Piaggio 1 range, integrated in the rear wheel, is now able to offer better performance, which translates into greater brilliance and ease of driving in city traffic , characterized by frequent restarts. , and in a better starting point in the presence of slopes.
The moped version (Piaggio 1), with a speed limited to 45 km / h, can now count on an almost doubled peak power, equal to 2.3 kW, while the motorcycle version (Piaggio 1 Active) reaches a peak of 3 kW. . The result is a significant increase in terms of acceleration, which increases by 14% on Piaggio 1 and by almost 12% on Piaggio 1 Active.
In both versions, the battery is positioned under the saddle, easily removable in seconds and transportable to recharge comfortably at home or in the office.

Re: MG V100 Mandello
‘a motorcycle that escapes the conformism of being categorized into a category,’
Wasn’t that tack taken more than once by Honda? Like with the ill-fated CTX1300?
Guzzi isn’t Honda.
Always liked the Moto Guzzi products although I have never owned one. The Mandello however has everything right until I see the exhaust headers, they really need to be in the front and not exiting from the side. Extremely prone to tip over damage and just ugly. I find Moto Guzzi does odd stuff across the line. I was hooked on the V85TT until I read the specs and found out that the oil capacity is 2 litres. I just can’t imagine 2 litres providing proper lubrication and cooling in a air cooled engine. The 1400 California requires the rear wheel to be removed to check differential fluid level. Even oil changes require a odd method of replacing the filter element, looks like a messy task too. Spin on filters rule. But the visuals of Moto Guzzi are worthy of praise.
I’ve owned my ’08 Norge since new and have yet to tip it over, not saying it couldn’t or won’t. There are many bikes prone to expensive tip over damage should they go over, but I don’t sweat it at all. How much damage a V100 might have is not a certain thing. There is a shield there of course but maybe more for heat protection than deflecting damage? My 1200cc Norge has an oil capacity of ~3 liters, no problems there that I have noticed. I have a hard time thinking Guzzi sacrificed oiling and heat damage for any other reasons. That would surely come back to haunt them in a very negative way. Also, my Norge has an external spin-on filter right there underneath, protected but also easy to change. I agree there are some oddities, but they don’t all exist with every model. It’s the nature of the beasts.
Thanks for the feedback, again the visuals of the V85TT are pleasing. I find the oddities concerning but not negative enough to completely steer me away.
I share your feelings about the V85TT but worry about the number of low-mileage versions for sale in the UK. It could be because it looks taller than most MGs, or maybe there’s a problem with them?
Hopefully for its future, the Mandello has shed some of the crudeness I’ve always experienced with Guzzis. I’d like to love them, but…
Nothing wrong with the V85TT other than it’s a bit on the tall side for a street bike but lower than a full-on ADV bike with longer travel suspension. I’d say it’s somewhere in between but maybe still too tall for some folks.
Though, ultimately, air is the method of dispersion, the V100 is a water cooled lump and the half gallon of oil is allowed to focus more on lubrication than cooling.
I’ve owned 10 Guzzis since 1986. Latest is V85TT. 2 quarts of oil is plenty with an oil cooler and excellent design like Guzzi has
I’ve come close to buying a Guzzi on multiple occasions only to end up with something more functional for less money. Someday I’ll throw caution (and my cash) to the wind and buy something that just looks cool.
The Guzzi V100 and Aprilia 660 sure look nice but I realized long ago that there is just as much enjoyment riding a 20-30 year old bike you picked up for $3,000.
