Environment Transportation The Vectrix Super Fast Electric Scooter By Staff Author Updated October 11, 2018 Migrated Image Share Twitter Pinterest Email Transportation Automotive Active Aviation Public Transportation The Vectrix Super Fast Electric Scooter has a top speed of 62mph, a range of up to 70 miles, and goes 0-60 in just under 8 seconds. (If you want something a little tamer, check out Honda’s Cute Seated Electric Scooter.) The recharger plugs into a standard outlet and gets up to 80% charge in about two hours. A Fast Scooter That’s Easy To Use There's no clutch, no gears, just a single regenerative throttle that slows the scooter smoothly when it's let off (while also using the braking energy to recharge the battery!). And according to their FAQ, they're planning a fuel cell/electric hybrid scooter with a much higher range. And of course, it goes without saying: no noise, no emissions. What's the catch? The scooter won't be on the market until 2006. I have it on good authority that the company doesn't consider the U.S. a particularly high-priority market relative to Europe, since Americans love SUVs, right? Well, you can reserve a scooter (no obligation) here. If they get enough U.S. response, maybe they'll allocate more to the U.S. and you'll see one of these babies zipping through your neighborhood soon.
