The Vespa SMEG Futro is a new concept e-scooter vehicle that takes cues from iconic retro aesthetics and al frecsco dining. The stylish scooter has panels that open up to reveal storage for a variety of items, including small appliances like toasters, as well as wine coolers, food storage boxes, thermoses and much more. This picnic-ready vehicle is a recreational two-wheeler that also boasts its own platters for sandwiches and other finger foods.
Thanks to the Futro's detachable battery unit, which can be found under the e-scooter's seat, the vehicle has the capacity to power the toaster and wine cooler.
The practical and aesthetically pleasing concept vehicle sports a glossy finish, chrome accents, leather trims and a touch-sensitive display.
