Pininfarina Designs The New E-Solex

Design group Pininfarina has released a picture of the new �e-Solex� and re-imagining of the classic moped that they have designed for Cible Group, the French company who bought up the Solex brand from Magneti Marelli. It has an electric engine, disc brakes and front suspensions. It can reach speeds of 35 Km/h (around 21 mph). It can also take an additional battery to increase coverable distance. The prototype �e-Solex�, will be shown at the �International two wheel show� in Paris in October. It�s not going to replace a Ferrari anytime soon but it is a very attractive design.
