Vectrix Benefits
Outstanding
Performance
- Fast A top speed of 62 mph (100 km/h).
- Rapid Acceleration - 0-50 mph (96 km/h) in 6.8 seconds.
- Extended Range Up to 68 miles (110 km) on a single charge (average speed of 25 mph (40 km/h). The patented throttle-activated regenerative braking system (DAaRT) helps to extend range by up to 12% by redirecting energy back into the battery during braking.
- Excellent Handling A low center of gravity, a stiff frame, and even weight distribution provide superior handling.
Easy
to Use
- Stop and Go with One Hand Simply twist the throttle for instant acceleration, and when its time to slow down or stop, twist the throttle forward to activate regenerative braking, which slows the Vectrix maxi-scooter smoothly and safely.
- Easy to Park The multi-function throttle also controls a slow-speed reverse function - making it easy to maneuver in and out of tight parking spaces.
- No Gear Shifting The integrated electric motor and single-stage planetary gearbox eliminates the need for a clutch or gear shifting.
- Quick to Charge The on-board charger plugs into any standard 110/220V electric outlet and recharges the battery pack (80% charge) in just over two hours.
- Practical Under-seat storage accommodates a full-sized helmet, and there is additional storage space in the glove box. Cell phones and other electronic devices can be charged from the integrated 12-volt power outlet.
- Instant Information An advanced digital dashboard displays speed, odometer, energy consumption, battery status and estimated range on a central analog display and two LCDs.
Low Running Costs
- Inexpensive to Run Electricity is one-tenth of the cost of gasoline.
- Minimal Maintenance Many of the key components in the Vectrix maxi-scooter are sealed and maintenance free. You'll never have to change oil or replace filters again.
- Incentives and Rebates Government rebates, local subsidies, and exemptions from road tax, property tax, registration fees and inner-city congestion tolls offer additional cost savings of up to 1,400 in some European cities.
- Reduced Insurance Costs Safety features, such as the throttle activated braking system, and the digital control system, which makes the scooter extremely difficult to steal, result in a 50% saving in insurance costs.
- Long Battery Life The Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack has an estimated life of up to 10 years based on 5,000 miles (8,000 km) per year.
- Environmentally Friendly
- Zero Emissions The Vectrix maxi-scooter is emission free at the point of use, whereas gasoline scooters can produce up to 5X the pollution of the average automobile (current European emission standards).
- Very Low Noise The Vectrix scooter is much quieter than a gasoline-powered scooter or motorcycle.
- Unrestricted Inner-City Access Enjoy free parking and charging in many cities, and get access to all restricted inner-city traffic zones.
