Piaggio to roll out new electric scooter 'Vespa Elettrica' in 2018

Italian scooter brand Piaggio on Thursay announced an electric model for its most loved scooter model, 'Vespa', The Verge reported.

The 'Vespa Elettrica' will have a range of 100 kilometers and like most electric vehicles, it will be flexible and depend on how one rides it.

Piaggio said that, "Elettrica should have superior performance to a 50cc scooter, and is perfect for city environments."

The company also claimed that, "No vehicle in the world is now as in line with zero-emission propulsion as Vespa."

Four hours of charging from a "normal wall outlet" will bring the batteries back up to full, according to Piaggio.

Moreover, one can expect these scooters to last for about 10 years, or 50,000 - 70,000 km.

Further, a 'Vespa Elettrica' app will allow users to connect to the scooter over Bluetooth so that the scooter can serve up messages and incoming phone calls. The app will also be able to relay diagnostic information about the scooter, as well as locate it on a map.

The riders will even be able to trigger a phone's voice assistant or control music, if they have a bluetooth-capable helmet.

Moreover, Vespa is releasing a special helmet equipped with built-in bluetooth speakers and a microphone alongside the Elettrica for just this purpose.


Expected to roll out in 2018, the 'Vespa Elettrica' will be up for preorder in spring.

OnePlus to improve OnePlus 5T's camera with a software update in Dec: Carl Pei

-
OnePlus 5T will get camera improvements in the upcoming month. That's what the company co-founder Carl Pei promises. OnePlus 5T is a great phone, but like every good stuff, OnePlus 5T has some cons too. 5T is a much enhanced and improved version of the predecessor OnePlus 5, but then, one area that the device falls a bit is in its low-light photography department. And keeping the bad stuff in mind -- Carl Pei on Friday took to the OnePlus forum to post that OnePlus 5T is going to get a major software update in Dec, and that will give a massive boost to the phone's camera setup, especially in its low light photography. It seems, OnePlus -- going by its tagline "Never settle" doesn't probably wants to rest for now. OnePlus 5T has been off to a blazing start, not just in India but all over the world. The company managed to sell out all the units within just 5 minutes, at least that's what the company claims. The OnePlus 5T's next sale is set for Nov 28. Wit...

Google on Thursday announced to rename its year old Android Wear brand to Wear OS. To simplify, Android Wear will henceforth be called Wear OS by Google.

Looks like the new branding Wear OS will eventually show up on some of the watches and mobile applications in the forthcoming weeks. "So as the watch industry gears up for another Baselworld next week, we're announcing a new name that better reflects our technology, vision, and most important of all-the people who wear our watches. We're now Wear OS by Google, a wearables operating system for everyone," notes Google. To recall, the Android Wear brand was initially introduced just a year ago, in 2014.
