Vectrix Release New Electric Scooters
January 16, 2009 by admin
The motorcycle show in New York starts today and will see the release of a few new scooters from Vectrix. The only current manufacturer of electric maxiscooters.
The flagship model has been named VX-1 and the next electric machine down the line is known as the VX-1E and is based on the same platform and drivetrain as its larger brother. So what’s the difference? Vectrix says that it will have a bit less top speed and acceleration.
The lowest model of the range is the VX-2, which is reported to offer similar performance to a standard 50cc gas-powered scooter. So expect a top speed of around 30 miles per hour and the ability to accelerate a bit quicker than the average small car. Range on the VX-2 is reported to be 45-50 miles and the price will be $5,195.
The Vx-2 is NOT a Vectrix!!!
It is an e-max electric scooter with panels changed. The e-max scooter is identical in engineering in every way.
The only major difference is that Vectrix has increased the price for no reason whatsoever.
Incapable of building their own scooter they have got their closest rival to build it for them…. except the closest rival is still building their own and its miles cheaper!!
A farce I hear you cry….
