Vectrix To Launch Electric Motorcycle Shortly

May 29, 2013 Vectrix , a company that over the last few years has had its ups & downs, is about to launch an electric motorcycle. They have several models of electric scooters available, one that has won the "Scooter of the Year" award from the European CleanWeek 2020 organization, the Vectrix VX 1li/Li+. 

Now Vectrix is getting ready to launch a new electric motorcycle. Called the VT-1, it's going to be the equivalent of a 125cc motorcycle with a low speed of 55 mph (88 kph), in other words, a real commuter. Proof that it's a commuter is that it will have interchangeable batteries on board, meaning you can take the batteries out and recharge them, or swap them for ones that have been charged. A low top speed means it's really only meant for riding in the city. 

The electric motorcycle will also have Vectrix's Regenerative Throttle, Battery Management System and Drive Train found on their scooters. No images are yet available, nor any more information about the VT-1.
