Aprilia has released official images of the eSR1 electric scooter and unlike previously speculated, it is not an electrified version of either of its scooters and neither does it mark the return of the brand's lightweight sports scooter which made its name in the late 90s and 2000s. It, in fact, is a battery-powered micro scooter that can be used to trundle around the city street at low speeds.

In terms of specifications, the Italian automaker has given it a 350W brushless motor that sources power from a 280Wh removable battery pack. The inclusion of the removable battery pack is actually a nice touch since it is becoming fairly common for EVs to feature removable packs that allow easy charging at home or office. It has a full charge range of close to 18 miles.

The pricing on the Aprilia eSR1 micro-scooter has been kept at €659 which converts to around 60,000, as per the current exchange rate.
