The Vespampère is slim, light and stylish, recalling a vintage classic from 1946 with an electric motor and other contemporary technological tweaks to bring it in tune with the modern era. Among other neat twists, a mobile phone becomes an integrated component, effectively serving as the vehicle’s dashboard.

This is an Italian designer Giulio Iacchetti’s fresh model draws inspiration from the film-famous silhouette of historical of the first Piaggio’s 98cc scooter named Vespa 98models launched in 1946, and now returning to the lighter look of original models (a plus for urban maneuverability).
The 98cc scooter models named Vespa 98launched in 1946 was the inspiration sources of Giulio Iacchetti’s fresh concept model above. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Bn1rlU)
Yes, he developed a model that links to tradition, yet at the same time features a slim, ecological body, for greater agility in city traffic. Off course it's contrary to the latest generations, which have gotten ‘heavier’ over the years, everything deemed superfluous has been eliminated in these Vespampère’s design.
2013 Vespa 946 also inspired by the 1946 Vespa 98 and a version production of Quarantasei scooter concept made its debut in 2012. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2Bog1cR)
At glance, the Giulio Iacchetti’s Vespampère scooter design was resembles the Vespa 946 (above) which also inspired by the 1946 Vespa 98 and the version production of Quarantasei scooter concept, but the 946 was more heavier due to carries a 125cc 3-valve air-cooled conventional engine and and its body also looks longer....
These minimalist, and lightweight version of the scooter sees the typical lateral shells removed in light of its electric motor, which occupies much less space than the traditional gas one.
The phone recharges from the vehicle’s electrical system and is weatherproof thanks to a transparent cover. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2OUpj3W)
All controls, the speedometer, fuel gauge and lights are accessed through an app by using wireless connection while a special compartment for storing a smartphone has been created on the dash.
Beside the cantilevered seat links back to the very first vespa launched by the company in 1946 also skid-proof rubber segments on the footboard add another unusual, appealing detail. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2OUpj3W)
The phone can charge off the vehicle’s on-board electrical system, slim rear-view mirrors feature turn signals, and the cantilevered seat links back to the very first Vespa launched by the company over a half-century ago.
Unfortunately, the Vespampère project is just an exercise in style and a Giulio Iacchetti's personal interpretation of the "Vespa" scooter that is owned by Piaggo & C. S.p.A., it must not be intended as a prototype to be produced and sold. Wanna see the beautiful Libelle!

Yamaha MWC-4 was born from a consideration of the possibility of personal mobility coming from motorbikes, and was developed with the concept of Medium Size Mobility. Then the Leaning Multi-Wheel (LMW) vehicle was created with two front and rear wheels. And LMW is the name of Yamaha for vehicles with three or more wheels that can be enjoyed like motorbikes in turn.
Visually, Yamaha MWC-4 has a minimum body panel, and all four wheels have a tire as wide as a motorcycle. In addition, Yamaha MWC-4 is also controlled with a handlebar instead of a steering wheel, so it able to cornering like a motorcycle. However, Yamaha MWC-4 has a roof and windshield like a car, and can be boarded by 2 people with tandem positions.
Yamaha explained as well that the MWC-4 is a hybrid vehicle that has a pair of liquid-cooled dual electric motors and gasoline engine driving power to strengthen the power plant as well as functioning as a means of increasing its cruising distance.
Yamaha MWC-4 has a dimension of 2,680 mm in length, 900 mm in width, and 1,480 mm in height. This vehicle is also equipped with attitude control technology, where the MWC-4 will provide a ride that feels good and the level of comfort not found on any conventional motorcycle. This is all expressed in styling inspired by the features of motorbikes and musical instruments.
At the same time, various elements such as the metal frame surrounding the driver and passengers and the feel of a semi-open cabin that is free and unobstructed from the left side, such as riding a motorcycle, expresses the true motorbike world with a unique style from Yamaha.
