An Italian-styled, China-built L3e scrambler that dresses like a muscle bike and rides like a well-mannered 125. The "7,000 W" name decoded, the range claim, the true five-year cost, and who it is for. Sources on everything.
A stylish, easy city electric that looks faster than it is. The "7,000 W" name is the rated motor power, about 9 hp, so this is a genuine 125-equivalent, not a fast machine. Plan for a 100+ mile maker range claim that no one has independently tested, ~$6,400 net to own over 5 years, and decent brakes for the class. Buy it as the moped it is, not the streetfighter it dresses as.
Assumptions: road-registered L3e, ~2,000 mi/yr city use, $0.17/kWh, low-maintenance drivetrain, no battery replacement in five years, ~45% resale at year five (uncertain given thin distribution and limited resale market). Full table in §10.
Every module behind the headlines: who it is for, claims vs. physics, true cost, reliability, parts, and the standard scorecard. All sourced.
An Italian-designed (by Alessandro Tartarini), China-built L3e scrambler. A 72V / 6.48 kWh pack, a 7 kW rated motor making about 9 hp, a top speed near 68 mph, and styling that writes a check the powertrain is not trying to cash. Plan for a 100+ mile maker range claim with no independent test behind it, ~$6,400 net to own over 5 years, and decent dual-disc brakes for the class. Here is exactly how we get there.
Start here, the right answer depends entirely on who is asking.
Same bike, very different answer depending on the rider. We lead every report with this so nobody buys the wrong machine.
The sweet spot. Easy, light, quiet, and good-looking, with better brakes than most of its class. For short urban hops and a stylish daily, this is exactly the right tool.
A 125-equivalent with a leisurely 0 to 60 is approachable. No clutch, no gears, modest power, and ride modes to cap it. A sensible first or re-entry electric, with gear.
The streetfighter looks promise more than the 7 kW drivetrain delivers. ~68 mph and a relaxed 0 to 60 mean this is not a fast bike. If you wanted muscle, look elsewhere.
Small Italian brand, China-sourced production, thin distribution. Parts and dealer support are limited outside the EU, and there is no owner-forum track record yet. Budget for servicing hassle.
Same bike, two stories. The struck-through line is the headline; the big number is what to actually expect. The "why" is in Part C.
What is genuinely nice, and which "features" are really table-stakes. The part the brand's own page never tells you.
Each badge tells you whether a feature is a real edge for the class, normal for 2026, or just styling.
Two front brake discs is better stopping hardware than this moped class usually gets. A genuine, practical plus you will feel every time you ride in traffic.
✓ SolidThe styling is the real product. A named Italian designer gives the Race-X a distinctive scrambler-streetfighter look that stands out against generic e-mopeds. You are largely buying the design.
★ The reason to buyAn inverted front fork, rear monoshock, and aluminum swingarm are decent chassis hardware for the price. Not exotic, but a notch above bargain-basement city bikes.
✓ SolidUseful for tailoring response and capping a new rider, but in 2026 nearly every electric does this. Handy, not distinctive.
≈ Now standardThe model name leans on a punchy wattage. It is the real rated motor power, but it is sold as if it were performance. At 7 kW this is a 125-class output, so read it as a spec, not a promise of speed.
⚠ Reads bigger than it ridesMarketing specs vs. the physics. The math is simple, battery capacity and a few formulas, so let us run it.
The model name is a wattage. Watts make a punchy headline; convert them to the unit everyone feels and the story gets honest fast.
About 9 hp puts the Race-X squarely in 125-class territory, which is exactly what its EU L3e homologation says it is. The top speed near 68 mph (110 km/h) and the relaxed 0 to 60 confirm it. That is not a knock if you wanted a 125. It is only a knock if the muscular name and the streetfighter stance made you expect more.
This is a maker figure with no independent test behind it. Here is the arithmetic that shows when it is plausible, and when it is not.
Step 1, real energy in the tank. Range starts with how much energy the battery holds: voltage × amp-hours.
Step 2, how much you spend per mile. Consumption (Wh/mi) is the whole game, and it rises sharply with speed because drag rises with the square of speed. Light bikes ridden gently at city speeds sip energy; pushed to their top speed they drink it.
~68 mph (110 km/h) is an honest 125-tier figure. But getting there is exactly what shreds the range above.
Held near top speed, a light bike draws hard just to maintain pace, so consumption climbs toward ~140 Wh/mi. Run the same range formula pinned:
So the "100+ miles" and "68 mph" on the same page are mutually exclusive: you get one or the other. The good news is that on a 125-class city bike, you will rarely want to hold 68 mph anyway, so for its intended use the range claim is at least directionally reasonable.
Charge time is just battery size ÷ charger power, so a vague claim means nothing without the wattage. Velocifero gives a real time here.
Shopping for one of these, the numbers can read bigger than they ride. Here is how to translate them.
| You will see | What it really is | Trust it? |
|---|---|---|
| "7,000 W" | Rated motor power (~9 hp). Real, but it is a spec, not a measure of speed. | rated, real |

| "Streetfighter / scrambler" | Styling category, not a performance class. It is a moped-class bike. | look, not pace |
The sticker is most of the story here, but not all of it. Here is the whole bill.
The MSRP is a headline, not a checkout total. Here is what actually leaves your bank account on day one.
| Line item | Typical | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bike (price) | $8,150 | Velocifero listed price |
| Shipping / freight | $150–$400 | Thin distribution; may ship from EU |

What is known so far, who fixes it, and whether you can get parts.
There is no owner-forum reliability record yet, so we summarize what the launch and preview coverage shows, framed as themes, not verified durability.
A bike is only as ownable as its parts supply. Here the Race-X is the weakest part of the story.
This is a small Italian brand with China-sourced production and limited distribution, so there is no meaningful aftermarket and dealer support is thin outside the EU. Generic consumables (tyres, brake pads, fluid) are easy enough since they use common sizes, but anything Velocifero-specific, the motor, controller, battery, bodywork, depends on the brand's own small network. Plan for the possibility that a major repair means waiting on parts from overseas.
| Part category | Availability | Rough cost |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres, brake pads, fluid (generic) | fair | $20–$200 |
| Battery (OEM 72V) | via maker only | varies |
| Motor / controller / electronics | via maker only | varies |
| Bodywork / cosmetic | limited | varies |
One scorecard, identical axes on every bike.
Every e-moto 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.
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. 72V × 90Ah is the 6.48 kWh pack.
You never use 0 to 100%. The BMS holds a reserve and voltage tapers at the bottom. We assume ~88%.
Consumption is the lever: ~52 Wh/mi gentle city, ~90 mixed, 140+ pinned. Drag rises with speed².
Always ask which number a spec quotes. Here 7 kW rated is about 9 hp, a 125-class output.
"Fast charging" is meaningless without the charger's wattage. The ×1.1 covers losses and taper.
| Cost assumption | We used | Change it if… |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mileage | 2,000 mi/yr (10,000 / 5 yr) | You ride more → tires & service rise |
| Electricity rate | $0.17 / kWh (US avg) | Your utility differs |
| Insurance + rego | ~$200/yr, road-registered | Your region / premium differs |
| Battery life | No replacement in 5 yr | Very hard use → sooner |
| Resale | ~45% of price at yr 5 (uncertain) | Thin market; could be lower |
