For folks who want something more substantial than an ebike and don't want to retake a licence, it fits the bill. Price is surprisingly good too!
Thanks Cian. I think so too
Great video. Keep them coming.
More 2 wheeled content coming soon!
Good to hear that you're getting your bike licence. Looking forward to seeing what you can get hold of to cover on this channel.
E bikes, scooters, motorcycles, all good 👍
That's the plan!
Great review as always Derek!
Thanks Smashy
Great review! Thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
Great review mate
Thank you
This review is spot on, I got the Piaggio One+ myself and it is a very well built scooter. Its tiny size and light weight is great for in the city. But it is just underpowered especially if your battery is already down to 70% or less where it will struggle to even reach 45. In the Netherlands you have to drive on the road where cars can go 50 and you just cant keep up with the flow of traffic. If the battery approaches 40% it just becomes dangerous really. Really wish they atleast put a 2kw motor on it instead of the 1.2kw. I assume that with a bit more powerful engine, you relatively keep more power too as the battery goes empty.
It is still a great scooter for city and cruising around in the vicinity though. Its my first electric scooter and it made me consider getting a basic motorcycle license too for the bigger electric ones.
That reverse "gear" is a true lifesaver for me as I have to take the scooter out of a cramped storage to drive it. Just wish they didnt include that beep when you go backwards. Its a 70kg scooter not a truck :-).
Thanks for the comment Dennis and glad you enjoyed it. Great to hear from an actual owner
I live in The NEtherlands also. Can you recommend a powerful scooter? Dank u wel :)
@@Roadkill220 Hoi, zie nu pas de reactie op mijn jaar oude reactie op deze video haha. So if you are still looking for a scooter, I believe Piaggio now updated this one to actually have a 2kW motor on it. So you get the advantages of this scooter, with hopefully an engine which doesnt get you knocked of the streets.
If I would get a new scooter, I would look at one of those IVA scooters which are marketed with having a powerful engine on it (3/4 kw, I believe 4kw is the maximum for drivers license AM). I have never driven one but if I were to swap this Piaggio it would be likely with either one of those or a NIU. Many of them however have double batteries, which can be a massive inconvieniance with charging. This is what this Piaggio excels at, a single easily carried battery which is quite efficient as well.
There is also the Silence S01/S02, they can also be gotten "downtuned" to meet the AM rijbewijs standard, but it has a massive battery pack on a trolley.
super handy for city living and thankfully without the moped squeal
The perfect machine for the city
Can you imagine Italy without the scream of scooters. It's on the way with these machines. Also, the two stroke smells are going. Love it. If we had italian weather, it's a no brained.
Great review. Lovely to see this as I'm inclined to forget there are other options to cars.
Des.
Glad you enjoyed it Des. A change on 2 wheels is coming!
I got the Piaggio One Active, it's very good.
Great to hear from an actual owner
India is way ahead in terms of electric two wheeler. I have Ola S1 Pro with top speed of 116kmph, 8.5kw peak power pmsm motor, 4kwh battery, 0 to 40kmph in 2.9s all under 2000 euros.😅
The Ola does look great
I'm very interested in getting one, I play baseball in Ireland and have no mode of transport for training
I usually travel like an hour by train and 30 mins by bus for training (and games) (plus going back looking at 3/4 hours)
This seems just right for my needs
Video been insightful thanks
Happy to be of some help!
Check out the niu scooters as well. There good options. The Piaggio 1 is almost the same price as a super soco cpx. So I just bought the cpx I can do 55mph/90kph on the cpx.
I like them if u live in a busy area handy and cheap to get around, especially if you can drive on car licence, but like you said a bit under powered!! I think there's something up to a 125 on car licence but not sure. What's insurance and tax like?
Thanks Rob. You can get a tricycle on a car licence but no electric version of that type at the moment to my knowledge
I’ve been thinking about buying myself an electric moped or a regular moped. Without the moped is an hour to get to work. However with the moped it’s like 14 minutes to get to work and 32 minutes to go back home. Avoiding highways of course. My point is. Is it reliable for mostly work related and to drive around it for fun.
Absolutely agree! Thanks for the comment
I had an MT50 and that Piaggio would kick ass
Ha ha ha
@@NevoEVReviewIreland this was back when I was 16 an I'm now 44
Great review, the sniffles were a bit distracting though 😮
Sorry about that
I have the one plus, it broked after 6 months, display won't turn on, and makes a clicking noise when the battery is plugged in, it's now back at the dealer still has warranty on it
Hopefully it gets repaired soon.
3:30 I think thats saying the battery is happy 😆
Or sad if below 50% 🤣🤣
Hello mate great video how much is insurance for this moped?
Hi Milan. Let me check and come back to you.
Could be around €300 but will all depend on the rider's age, no claims etc etc
@@NevoEVReviewIreland Hiya great stuff thank you so much.
I think the active one should be able to do 50 plus mph as this one would be classed as a 125 petrol engine and would require L plates thats in England, not to sure about Ireland. If the rules are different please could someone let me know.
Hopefully another viewing will jump in with the answer here. Thanks for the question
Hello, can you please help me how to reset the maintenance icon ( it appears automatically around 1000km ) :((( just can't find any info anywhere about this
Unfortunately I don't know. Best reach out to your local dealer. Sorry
I'm pretty sure this is based on NIU hardware, has very similar specs and features. Even the power un sound is the same. Am I wrong to assume it might be sharing most of the hardware?
Not sure, could be. I've heard another brand in the comments. Didn't remind me of the Niu models I reviewed
Nice EV Piaggio
A great little scooter
Hi what about uphills with second person??
At this power level it would struggle
Battery depletion is bad too
Move the mic away from your mouth a bit. The huff and puff may go away a bit. Great video! 💯
Thanks for the feedback, my mic placement is a work in progress for sure
I have active version. Is it possible to pair my Phone via Bluetooth, I have downloaded the app and followed the instructions on screen but can't connect.
I think the Bluetooth is an optional extra. Have you asked your dealer about it?
When they sold us the Piaggio One they told us it was included, but it isn't. It is an optional extra.
My interests would not be on acceleration, range, convenience and comfort are far more important. Maybe piaggio2 would offer a slightly bigger battery.
Niu is a good option if your in the US. For me I wanted Speed and range. Super soco cpx is perfect I get 55mph/90kph and 100+ miles of range with thr duel battery. Hub motors aren't the best at acceleration but it gets you moving.
Thanks both for the comment. More 2 wheeled EV reviews soon
Is this newd a license?
An AM licence here in Ireland. Less than 50cc equivalent
It is stupid that the bluetooth function is a separate part that must be purchased for it to work :(
I was wondering why it wouldn't work for me!
@@NevoEVReviewIreland haha yeah, I tried the combination method according to the instructions for hours! I gave up and called the Piaggio dealer and they told me I can unlock the feature for like 320usd... they literally told me it's not worth it
whats the 0 to 15 time
Let me check and come back to you
I live in Canada. I don't know why they don't make these things go at least 60kph. Think about the merging issues
It'd be amazing if they just made these faster slightly
They do, you just need the correct license which I'm training for
In Canada they only sell the active version (60kph) and, depending on where you live, it should require only a regular licence. Check first, but in BC it is classed as a slow speed motorcycle (car licence) and gets a big EV incentive. Think Ontario and Quebec has similar.
Error feng chen wang is smaller electric with smaller batteries
Smaller than the one I tested? This one has a 1.4kWh battery and an electric motor giving 1.2kW of power peaking at 1.34kW. What data do you have for the Feng Chen version?
It's too slow, to keep up with city traffic.
Thanks for the comment. It's actually not too bad. A lot of cities are limiting speed to 30km/h so it'll be perfect
👀👀
😂😂
ALL THESE REVIEWS BUT NO ONE SHOWS HOW TO CHARGE THE DAM THING!
SORRY!
60kph max and 66km sport. For €4k.....ouch
Thanks for the comment, you better not look at some of the ebikes I've reviewed 🙈
Not 4k...with ecobonus in Italy
-Piaggio 1: 2100€
-Piaggio 1 Active: 2600€
37mph top speed. It's a toy
Yep, the 125 version would be the one for me
Don't see the point
Not enough power?
load of rubbish, made in china by zongshen in a tie up with piaggio, bearings went in rear hub meant new motor, £700 but the warranty covered it then the battery went £1920 covered by the warranty, bought a liberty before the warranty expired and got rid of it
Sorry to hear this. What's the Liberty like?
totally the opposite, also made in the far east but completely reliable, economic and a lot better speed@@NevoEVReviewIreland
this is just a joke, you can peddle a bike faster.
I'd agreed it's under powered
