If they start selling one for $5,000 with full (or extended) range... I'll order it as soon as it's officially announced. That's a price that I can get behind.

While you're dreaming of your perfect world, the rest of us are making ours better. :-)

Is the photo in that article supposed to be the 2009 model?

There's no reason to be rude. You have no idea who you are talking to or what I'm doing for this planet.

Nor do you, my friend. If I were being rude, there would be no smilies at the end of my statement. No offense intended, and I apologize for being misinterpreted.

Nope - that pic is of the VX1, the bike they're talking about is the VX2 a much less sleeker machine - and you can see a picture of it on the Vectrix website, along with the W3, the three wheeler concept bike based on the Piaggio MP3.

Where is it at? I was looking around on their site and can't seem to find it.

Vectrix and Piaggio own a joint pattant on the 3 wheeler .

Happy riding Herb

It was in one of the company reports - check out the link below. I also see from the 2008 report that they've built over 120 of the W3 3-Wheeler unit....

That quote stuff sure got messed up. I hate it when that happens.

Yeah, there are only really two reasons why I haven't bought a Vectrix yet:

1. I have a motorcycle that I'm considering converting. It's a Kawasaki GPZ1100 and I'm not really riding it any more. It needs some carb work done and I'm thinking about just pulling all that gas stuff off of it and making an electric out of it.

2. I spent about $23k on defense in 08. This reflects the redirecting of both Housing and Transportation budgets. All that left in my transportation budget for the fiscal year was about $1,500 for a GoPed ESR750H (Electric Hoverboard), which I ride around all over the place.

So, it's not so much an issue of whether an electric motorcycle/scooter is going to happen... but more of a matter of figuring out which one is going to happen. And since the defense spending it out of the way, it's currently slated for FY09, which starts in October.
