The Vectrix electric
maxi-scooter is the world's first high-performance electric two-wheel
vehicle to offer all the benefits of a traditional petrol-powered
scooter but without the noise, pollution, expensive maintenance,
frequent oil changes, and regular trips to the petrol station.
The Vectrix
maxi-scooter is fun to ride and easy to operate. Its top speed of 62 mph
and fast acceleration (0-50 mph in 6.8 seconds) make it safe and easy to
zip in and out of traffic.

The onboard charger
plugs into any standard electrical outlet to quickly charge the
batteries, which provide up to 68 miles of travel on a single charge. A
low centre of gravity and stiff frame provide excellent handling, and
the multi-function throttle allows riders to accelerate and slow down
with a simple twist of the throttle. |
The Vectrix, exempt from the congestion charge, parking fees, and road
tax, can save you up to £7,000 per year, and if you use an eco energy
supplier, it is completely carbon neutral to run.
The
Vectrix is available from £5,995.

Vectrix VX1: I have owned a Vectrix since
May 2007 and am very pleased with it. It is smooth, well balanced, and
has plenty of power. Keeps up with / gets past traffic easily and no
problem carrying a pillion passenger.Very low maintenance, but can eat
back tyres if you use the power too much! As with all pure electric
vehicles, it is only practical if your regular journeys are within the
battery range, but if so this bike is ideal - gets through traffic, can
use bus lanes (maybe not in all towns), easy to park and great fun.

Wow! What can I say, very fast, very
smooth, very comfortable and handle better than my petrol bike. I never
expected to say all the above about an electric vehicle!
This is the best way to get around, no traffic jams, fun and it is so
satisfying to know your trip to work and back or the gym etc has no
impact on the environment. Very much recommend trying one of these!
