Vectrix to release 2 new models in 2009

Vectrix plans to introduce two additional models in Spring/Summer 2009, the Vx-1e and Vx-2. The Vx-1e uses the same platform and drive train as the Vx-1, but features a lower price point, a more urban commuter driver profile with slightly less acceleration and top speed. The Vx-2 will be a smaller and more compact electric equivalent of a 50cc internal combustion engine (ICE) bike and use both U.S. and European designs. The Company expects to add additional power profiles to this product up to the electric equivalent of a 150cc ICE motorbike.

 

Cool stuff!  I'm all for cheaper EVs.

That's very cool!  I wonder how different they'll look...or if they'll more or less look like the flagship Vectrix.

 

And I think that's a pretty huge win for EVs that they'll be able to get them in the hands of consumers.  Vectrix sales really started picking up when they lowered the price.  So it'll be exciting to see how this spurs on the company.

 Any plans this year for a lithium battery option?
