I just came across this article. It mentioned a new Vectrix model.
Seems they are dropping the VX naming. Interested to see what it will be.

Well, it looks like a Honda SH. Maybe there's somebody in vectrix that "finally" understands the motorbike tastes of the southern-european region. Hope they bring it to light with a good battery and little design flaws.

My thoughts exactly.
Looks ridiculous

Re: Vectrix Tall Wheel (TW)

With all that air in this airy design, maybe it will have the legendary Lithium-Air battery? ;-)

Looks like it may use a hub motor, with the battery pack under the seat. In that case, those storage cases should be standard on everything except maybe a "sport" model.

Re: Vectrix Tall Wheel (TW)

So is the Tall Wheel the same as the VT-1?


The Vectrix VT-1 is the newest member of the storied Vectrix electric vehicles line-up. Our soon-to-be released 125cc-equivalent will have a top speed of up to 55 mph (88 km/h) so it’s ready to roll, around town or out on the open road. Revolutionary interchangeable batteries means you can charge wherever you like—your pad, your office, or anywhere in between. Built with the same Vectrix core technologies like our patented Vectrix Regenerative Throttle, Battery Management System, and Drive Train that have made us the global standard bearer in electric two-wheelers since 1996. The Vectrix VT-1 is the culmination of over 17 years of Vectrix product development and know-how. The Vectrix VT-1…Green means go.

Re: Vectrix Tall Wheel (TW)

This is quite misleading.
We expected a Sh 125 clone with top speed of 110 km/h, range of 100 km.
the Vt-1 is a scooter for large messenger fleets. It will do it's work, that's all.

IF I had money I would mix a Zero S zf 12 with a vectrix vx1
