 
 Technology Overview
The Vectrix Scooter Is Different in Almost Every Way from a Traditional Gas Scooter/Motorcycle
The innovative design of the scooter focuses on achieving extended range and high performance through weight reduction, digital circuitry, low aerodynamic drag, and minimal friction. The Vectrix scooter incorporates relatively few parts (250 vs. 2,500 for a gas scooter), resulting in reduced production costs and minimal maintenance. (Reload page to view technology build.)

The Vectrix electric maxi-scooter is the world's first high-performance electric two-wheel vehicle to offer all the benefits of a traditional gasoline-powered scooter but without the noise, pollution, expensive maintenance, frequent oil changes, and regular trips to the gas station.
The Vectrix maxi-scooter is fun to ride and easy to operate. Its top speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) and fast acceleration 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 70 miles (110 km) of travel on a single charge. A low center 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.
With the Vectrix maxi-scooter you’ll be free to move, free from traffic jams, free from expensive maintenance, free from rising gas prices, free from pollution, and free from guilt about damaging the planet.
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 55 miles (110 km) on a single charge (average speed of 25 mph (40 km/h). The patented throttle-activated regenerative braking system (DAaRTTM) 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 it's 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 LCD's.
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.
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 l
ife 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.
Very Low Noise - The Vectrix scooter is much quieter than a gasoline-powered scooter or motorcycle.
