The electric version of Italjet's wildest scooter, dripping with Brembo and Pirelli hardware and famous for being teased far longer than it has been sold. The range claim that halves on the open road, the non-removable battery, and the long wait. Sources on everything.
The most theatrical electric scooter in its segment, refreshingly honest about its range. Plan for ~56 mi extra-urban (the 112 mi figure is a stop-and-go city number), a 12 kW peak motor good for ~16 hp, premium Brembo and Pirelli hardware, a non-removable battery, and a launch that has been teased far longer than it has shipped.
Why no cost stack here: a full five-year cost-to-own needs a confirmed purchase price, and Italjet had not set one publicly at the model's reveal. We show the charging math below and itemize what we can, and we never guess the sticker.
What it actually is, the range claim halved with real physics, the premium hardware, the non-removable-battery catch, and the standard scorecard. All sourced.
The battery-powered sibling of Italjet's exposed-suspension Dragster, a scooter that looks like a concept car escaped onto the road. A 12 kW peak motor (~16 hp), a roughly 4.9 kWh battery, Brembo brakes and Pirelli tyres, and Italjet's own honest pair of range figures: 180 km urban, ~90 km extra-urban. Plan around 56 mi if you ride any open road, accept a non-removable battery, and know it has been teased far longer than it has shipped. The Dragster e01 rewards people who like the look enough to wait for it.
Start here, the right answer depends entirely on who is asking, and how patient they are.
This is a statement scooter first and a value proposition second. We lead with that so nobody buys it expecting the cheapest way from A to B.
The sweet spot. The exposed front suspension and single-sided design make this the most theatrical electric scooter in the segment. If turning heads is part of the point, nothing else at this size looks like it.
Brembo brakes and Pirelli tyres are premium fitments rarely seen at this end of the e-scooter market. If you value the brakes-and-tyres pedigree over outright value, this rewards you.
The catch. The battery is not removable, so charging means parking next to a socket rather than carrying the pack upstairs. For a scooter pitched at city dwellers in apartments, check your parking reality first.
The model that taught everyone patience. Italjet showed the e01 around 2022 with a 2023 launch in view, and volume availability has stayed elusive. If you need a known price and guaranteed delivery, this is not yet that bike.
Italjet is unusually honest here, it publishes both range numbers itself. The struck line is the headline; the big number is what to plan around.
What is genuinely distinctive, and what is premium-but-normal. The hardware is the headline here.
The signature suspension and the premium componentry are the real story; the powertrain is competitive rather than exotic. Each badge tells you which is which.
The signature Italjet hardware carries straight over from the petrol Dragster: a single-sided swingarm with hydro-pneumatic shock and independent steering. Genuinely distinctive engineering, not styling cosplay.
★ Genuine edgeHydraulic Brembo caliper disc brakes with ABS (200 mm front, 190 mm rear) and Pirelli tyres front and rear. Premium fitments rarely seen at this end of the e-scooter market.
✓ SolidA claimed 12 kW peak motor (6 kW nominal) and roughly 4.9 kWh battery put it in the brisk-city-scooter bracket, with 360 Nm (266 lb-ft) of wheel torque for snappy launches. Competitive numbers; the componentry is what sets it apart.
✓ SolidAbout 36 minutes to full on a 10 kW fast charger, or roughly 5.5 hours on a standard one. Genuinely quick, but the battery is not removable, so you charge where you park.
≈ Now standardMarketing specs vs. the physics. Italjet does better than most here, so this is more confirmation than correction.
Peak watts make a great headline; nominal watts are what you cruise on. Italjet publishes both, so convert each to the unit everyone feels.
Italjet's own figures tell the honest story: 180 km (about 112 mi) urban, roughly 90 km (about 56 mi) extra-urban. The moment you ride at steadier speeds it roughly halves. That is not a scandal, it is physics.
Step 1, real energy in the pack. Italjet publishes a 4.91 kWh battery; the voltage and amp-hour split is not headlined, so we use the kWh directly.
Step 2, consumption rises with speed. Drag grows with the square of speed, so steady extra-urban riding spends far more per mile than stop-and-go city use. Work the numbers backward from Italjet's own two figures.
Charge time is just battery size ÷ charger power. Italjet quotes a genuinely quick figure, but only on hardware most owners will not have at home.
The honest answer is that the headline price is still missing. Here is what we can pin down, and what we will not guess.
Italjet had not confirmed a final price at the e01's announcement, and we will not invent one. What we can state is the shape of the running costs and the premium positioning.
| Line item | Typical | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bike (price) | not yet set | No final MSRP confirmed at announcement; expect premium-scooter money given the kit |
| Charging (per full charge) | ~$0.92 | 4.91 kWh at $0.17/kWh, math below |
| Tyres (Pirelli), brake pads (Brembo) | premium | Premium consumables cost more than generic e-scooter parts |
| Service | low routine | No oil, gears or clutch; mostly tyres, brakes and software |
| Battery (non-removable) | fixed pack | A future replacement is a dealer job, not a swap; cost not published |
| Sales tax / registration | verify locally | 125cc-equivalent rules vary by country and US state |
What ownership looks like, and the practical catches.
Long-term owner data is thin because the bike has barely shipped in volume, so we are conservative and frame everything as themes and known design facts rather than invented quotes.
One scorecard, identical axes on every bike.
Every machine on the site is scored on these same eight axes, by the same rules, so a 7 here means the same thing as a 7 anywhere. Value and support are held back by the missing price and unproven availability.
Our standing methodology, run identically on every e-moto, including bikes we would otherwise have reason to flatter.
The only honest way to compare two batteries. Italjet publishes ~4.91 kWh; the V and Ah split is not stated, so we use the kWh directly.
You never use 0 to 100%. The BMS holds a reserve and voltage tapers at the bottom. We assume ~88%.
Consumption is the lever: ~44 Wh/mi in dense city, ~88 Wh/mi extra-urban. Drag rises with speed², which is why the range halves.
12 kW peak is ~16 hp; 6 kW nominal is ~8 hp. Always ask which a spec quotes. Peak sells, nominal cruises.
"Fast charging" is meaningless without the charger's wattage. Italjet's ~36 min needs a 10 kW unit; ~5.5 hr on a standard one.
| Cost assumption | We used | Change it if… |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mileage | 1,500 mi/yr (7,500 / 5 yr) | You commute daily → tyres and charging rise |
| Electricity rate | $0.17 / kWh (US avg) | Your utility differs; European rates often higher |
| Sales tax | ~8% | 125cc-equivalent rules differ by country and state |
| Battery life | No replacement in 5 yr (assumed) | Fixed pack; replacement is a dealer job if needed |
| Resale | ~50% at yr 5 (assumed) | No confirmed MSRP yet, so resale is indicative only |
We cite everything and date it, because specs and prices change. Manufacturer figures are labeled as claims; real-world numbers are our estimates from the methodology above. Spot an error? Our corrections policy means we fix it in public.
Sources retrieved May 2026. Manufacturer and press figures state claimed specs from the 2022 reveal; treat them as marketing figures, not independent tests. Price and availability remained unconfirmed at the model's announcement and may change.
