@SalvationMemory if it was up to me, you would need a license to walk

You will most likely need a license for scooter such as the Vectrix.
20.000 watts of power? do you really think it is an E-bike? umhhhh…
my dad uses it to travel about 25 miles to and from work charging it overnight and at work. Another one of the guys that works there had his sitting outside for the entire winter with just a fabric cover over it, and even through all the snow that came and was sitting on it, it started right up
Do u need a license for this? Or is it an e-bike?
I would like to know how long the battery actually lasts based on real world use. ie. every day back and forth, and also how it holds up in a colder climate.
I bought mine in June this year. £5,500 all in, delivered to my door. I’ve had 1,100 trouble free miles and it’s been great. When I get home I reverse it into my garage and plug it in to a timer that gives it 3 hour charging window in the early hours. It’s even cheaper then. 20 pence for a full charge which gives me 50 miles on average.
I’ll take two. Screw oil.
how many does it cost?
Quite cool. I’m looking forward to the newer models and the sleek electric sports bikes WOOP WOOP
I’ve now done a review of this bike and it’s amazing.
Great idea and technology, pity the engineering in the three planetary gears and the ring gear in the rear wheel can be random with tolerances. Check to make sure you can hear a constant sound from the motor not an intermittent one. The large ring gear can sometimes be out of round, probably a Monday morning or Friday afternoon assembled one.
Hats off to Vectrix. They’re showing the way to go for urban transport. In London the average speed for traffic is 10 mph. Go to be quicker on an electric scooter
The batteries are rated to last 10 years or 50,000 miles.
The entire Vectrix has a warranty of 2 years.
How long do the batteries last before having to replace them, and what is the cost?
When more efficient batteries are developed, you’ll be able to replace them. In the future you’ll be able to go to a gas station and swap your depleted battery for a charged one for a buck or two. Just pull out the old one, snap in the new one and ready to go another 100 miles or so.
Dealer told me yesterday about 1,000. They lowered the price earlier this year to move more bikes. $8700 or so is much more acceptable than $12000.
These use salt based batteries, 100% safe to pitch it in the garbage.
I got one about two weeks ago. This maxi-scooter is a blast to ride. Top speed is about 63 mph. The range varies based on how fast you ride. Typically I am averaging about 40 miles per charge.
I have a charge meter on my outlet to measure the cost. About 35 cents to recharge the battery.
4 or 5 hours to completely recharge (and balance cells) from empty. 3 hours to get it mostly full enough to go.
This is the perfect scooter for commuting in your nearby region. Freedom from gasoline.
Battery is cnsidered dead when reaches 80% of its original capacity due to degradation. However, the battery will function normaly.
They may last some years more, maybe at 15 years it will contain only 60% of it’s original capacity.
I so want the blue model of it from their site. Once im able to buy one i will.
Just wondering… If things pick up, what will happen to all the batteries in 10 years time?
any one knows how many have sold already?
i just test drove one of them. They are wonderful and the price was only $8,500.00. I will get one as soon as possible.
