Fantic Issimo 45: the electric takes a step

 After its Issimo electric two-wheeler, Fantic is now unveiling the improved version: the Issimo 45. 45 as the maximum speed reached by this new version, which thus passes from the category of VAE (electrically assisted bicycles) to that of mopeds electrical. In a booming electric mobility market, the Italian manufacturer Fantic has just presented its new proposal: the Issimo 45. An improved version of its classic Issimo, which despite its moped look had hitherto entered the category of electrically assisted bicycles, with a speed limited to 25 km/h. As its name suggests, the Issimo 45 changes status, and is now classified in the category of mopeds with a maximum authorized speed which climbs to 45 km/h. The difference is significant, in particular because its use is now regulated. The Fantic Issimo 45 electric moped is thus subject to the same rules as all vehicles in its category: mirrors, license plate, insurance and compulsory wearing of a helmet, minimum age of 14 years required and possession of the BSR for all users born in from 1988. The Fantic Issimo 45 is equipped with a 500 W Bafang electric motor which delivers a maximum torque of 120 Nm and a 600 Wh battery offering a range of 50 km. The possibility of adding a second battery can double this autonomy. Four riding modes are also available: Road to optimize top speed, Hill to benefit from maximum torque, Zero, which deactivates electric assistance, and Walk Assist to make the bike easier to push in areas where riding is prohibited. . The Fantic Issimo 45 is available in ten different colorways starting at €3,950.
