I am a little held back to corner the Vectrix in left hand corners as I am afraid the hub motor will touch the ground and lift the rear wheel.
Right corners are no problem, I had the bodywork touch the ground often enough to feel comfortable.
Does anyone know which part of the left side of the Vectrix touches the ground first?
Thanks

I doubt that this would happen in a corner because on the right side it is the bottom bit sticking out at the rear of the drivers footrest that touches the ground first. The passenger footrest is much higher.
Once you go EV, Gas is history!
On the bottom side of the vectrix there are a pair of platic protuberances that get the first scratches. I have "felt" the ground with them many times, but I've never get any scratch on the engine's cover.
