I came across this vid today... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5pUIXe--fc&feature=em-uploademail ... other V owners might find it interesting. Have a close look at the rear wheel at 2:46 and (better) 3:36... look familiar?
I added a couple of comments. One relating to the motor noise (as you will see a bit later in the video) which sounds like the planetary gearbox is about to expire. But, hey! it's been around the world! MW
There was also a blue German Vectrix participating in the Zero Race Around the world. It had a battery of 15 kwh + 9kwh, capable of 400 km of range with one single charge.
