Is there a maximum recommended passenger & cargo weight on a VX-1? Obviously adding weight will reduce the range and pickup, but is there some point at which I'll start to wreck the suspension if my passenger and I are larger, or if I use the cargo hold to haul barbells, etc?
I've been googling and digging through the manual, but I can't find the answer to this question. Most likely that's because it's right in front of my face.
Weight of the bike is 231kg and max. weight is 426kg. So the added weight can be up to 195kg.
That says in my registration document. Data is taken from COC - Certification of Conformity (EU)
Thank you!
That's 30.7 stone according to Google. That's including you, a passenger, both helmets and riding gear, plus any accessories such as extension lead, security chain, etc. All I know is, that doesn't leave a lot for a passenger in my case...
Allowable load, consisting of operator, passenger, added accessories, and luggage, should total less than approximately 430 pounds, according to the VECTRIX owners manual.(150 pound operator and 280 pound girlfriend=Max load!) Be aware that you are more likely to blow the fuse when carrying a passenger uphill and accellerating rapidly, due to the sustained high amperage draw. Avoiding prolonged full throttle use, especially on uphill runs with a passenger, may be good advice, especially if your machine still has the 125 ampere fuse!- Bob

Just have a look at the compliance plate between the front fork for a laugh!
The rider may weigh more than a ton!
