The Vectrix VX-1 is an electric scooter the Vectrix Corporation , which in Poland was installed from 2007 to 2014.
The scooter has a brushless permanent magnet DC motor with an integrated planetary gear in the rear wheel. A low-speed reverse gear is available for maneuvering. The scooter has a lockable 40l storage space under the seat, which can also be used to store a helmet, as well as a 6l glove compartment. A 46l top case can be optionally installed. Due to its specification, it can be driven on public roads in Germany with a class A, A1 or B driving license (class 3 before April 1, 1980).
The electronic power control allows regenerative braking . The range of the original version with NiMH battery and 3.7 kWh nominal capacity is between 50 and 80 kilometers, depending on the driving style, and up to 120 km for the current models. The operating voltage of the traction battery is 125 volts. The vehicle can be charged with the built-in battery charger at both the 110 volt and 230 volt AC connection. A charge to 80 percent takes about 2.5 or 4 hours.
The Vectrix VX-1 was used as part of the Zero Race , which started in August 2010. The goal was to circumnavigate the world with electric vehicles over a distance of 28,000 kilometers.
The revised model Vectrix VX-1 Li has been on offer since 2012, the version with NiMh battery was no longer available. Thanks to the new lithium iron phosphate-based battery technology, the scooter is 30 kg lighter with the same battery capacity, which further improves driving performance. The top model is now the Vectrix VX-1 Li +, which with an enlarged battery of 5.4 kWh is still 22 kg lighter than the original model. The Vectrix Li + enables journeys of 80–120 km with one battery charge.
