Velocifero Mobster Scooter Comes in 125cc, 180cc and Electric Versions

Italian brand Velocifero showed a sporty scooter for younger riders, the Mobster, ahead of EICMA in November 2024. It comes in three versions: a 125cc and a 180cc gas model, both liquid-cooled, and an electric model with a 4 kW motor and a 2.88 kWh battery.

EICMA published Velocifero's announcement on Oct. 14, 2024. It describes the scooter's introduction, not a November 2026 launch, and it doesn't give prices or a U.S. plan.

Key points:

• 125cc: 8.9 kW (about 12 hp) and 11.7 Nm (8.6 lb-ft).
• 180cc: 13.2 kW (about 18 hp) and 15.7 Nm (11.6 lb-ft).
• Electric: 4 kW motor and a 72 V, 2,880 Wh battery; Velocifero claims 100 km (62 miles) of range at a steady 40 km/h (25 mph).
• All versions: 5-inch TFT dash.
• Colors: yellow, red, white and gray.

Three Versions, Different Jobs

The Mobster shares its body across three powertrains, and they suit different riders:

1. Mobster 125: a liquid-cooled, four-stroke single making 8.9 kW and 11.7 Nm. In much of Europe, that's the class newer riders can start on.
2. Mobster 180: the same layout, bigger, with 13.2 kW and 15.7 Nm, for riders who want more pull on faster roads.
3. Mobster electric: a 4,000 W (4 kW) motor and a 2.88 kWh battery.

Velocifero quotes power in kilowatts, which avoids the usual confusion between metric and mechanical horsepower. The horsepower figures above are conversions.

The Electric Version's Range Claim

Velocifero claims 100 km (62 miles) of range, but only at a steady 40 km/h (25 mph). That's a slow, best-case test. Riding faster, stopping and starting, or riding in the cold will cut that number, sometimes a lot.

EICMA listed 110 km/h for the electric model, while Velocifero’s November technical sheet lists 105 km/h. These are stated figures, and neither is an independent road test.

Shared Equipment

All three versions get a 5-inch TFT dash. Velocifero lists hydraulic suspension on the gas models and a combined braking system on the electric model.

Ask a dealer for the exact brake and ABS spec before you buy, since it matters for both safety and, in some places, licensing.

What It Means for U.S. Riders

Velocifero is a small Italian brand, and the announcement doesn't confirm U.S. sales or approval for a specific Mobster version. Check with a dealer before you plan around one.

If you're buying a first scooter, compare insurance quotes for the gas and electric versions. Insurers may treat them differently, and theft coverage is worth having on any scooter that will be parked outside.
