Kicking off the holiday season with an all-new makeover of PFF's best-selling robot, gitamini limited edition is now available in an exclusive colorway and includes a Bluetooth™ speaker

BOSTON, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Piaggio Fast Forward (PFF), a leader in following technology, announces the launch of the newest addition to the gita robot family just in time for the holiday season. This first all-black limited edition of gitamini is the perfect gift for healthy living enthusiasts, fashion and accessories lovers, environmentally conscious individuals, tech adopters, and those with pedestrian-first lifestyles. The exclusive gitamini limited edition in Shadow Black operates with the same pedestrian etiquette as the other consumer robots from PFF, but is the first gitamini to have a built-in Bluetooth® speaker that owners can use to stream music through the mygita app to enhance the life-on-foot experience. The limited edition is the only gitamini robot custom designed with matching black body panels and wheels, with cool gray features including the bin and logo, LED accent lighting and custom sounds designed by the Berklee College of Music. PFF's first limited edition all-black colorway is timeless and elevated, making it the perfect accessory to take you through the holiday season and beyond. Black is a classic neutral that fits seamlessly into any wardrobe, while the speaker adds an element of fun that's perfect for gifting or amping up the entertainment during your daily activities—a perfect holiday accessory.

"This holiday was the perfect opportunity to create an exclusive colorway for the best selling gitamini robot. We designed it with a blacked out body and wheels accentuated by the contrasting cool gray interior to provide its user the ability to easily locate belongings inside the bin. We also gave this gitamini a Bluetooth speaker so walking enthusiasts have a more elevated experience as they enjoy even more of their life on foot," notes Greg Lynn, PFF's Chief Executive Officer. "With most walking trips being a mile or less, gitamini makes those 2,000 steps easier, more fun and now eye-catching."

A leader in following technology, PFF continues to revolutionize the way humans and machines interact by designing innovative mobile tech solutions that move the way people move—to help people walk more, walk farther, and to allow them to do more of their everyday living on foot. PFF continues to listen to customer feedback and expand its family of first-of-their--kind following robots programmed with pedestrian etiquette. 

Available now on a first-come, first-served basis, the gitamini limited edition robot will be offered while supplies last. Be the first to shop the latest drop! It is available for consumers starting at a retail price of $2,175.00. Free shipping always and financing via Affirm available at checkout.

gitamini is a cargo-carrying, following robot that allows you to walk further and more often, rather than driving. It is lightweight (just 28 lb) and nimble (zero turning radius); is compact and has easy to lift exterior hand holds; uses a combination of cameras and radar technology in order to see its surroundings. It pairs to its user with just one tap of a button, braking automatically when needed and adjusting its speed to keep pace along the way. Gitamini stands and self-balances and keeps a following pace of up to 6 mph for up to 21 miles on a single charge while carrying up to 20 pounds of gear (capacity of 1000 in3). Available in refined Boardwalk Beige or attention-grabbing Spark Citron and now, for a limited time, in chic Shadow Black including an exclusive Bluetooth enabled speaker.
