Hello,
I'm a forum newbie. Let me start with this..... This aint' like my wife's Vespa. I'm a bit of a Auto/Motorcycle hobbyist and will occasionally pick up damaged vehicles at Insurance Auctions. I bought this 2007 VX1 based on some poorly taken pictures, and not a lot of knowledge of what I was looking at in those pictures.
Basically, I'm not equipped to fix this puppy, so I'll be happy to part it out to those that may need the parts. It came with no Key, and the Mileage on the Salvage Certificate says 40. I have no way to determine what the actual mileage was at the time of it's demise.
The majority of the damage was in the headlight/right side area. I have repaired many non-electric vehicles over the years, please excuse my ignorance as to my descriptions of various parts that I may not be naming correctly. I'll be honest to a fault to describe these Items and any damage that may appear to affect it's re-use.
There is damage to the two aluminum boxes under the Gauge assy and Rt Front, I assume the larger one (Rt Front) is the motor controller. and the plug itself was busted out of the back of the gauge assy. Most of the frontal plastic is gone with the exception of the left faring panel and the turn signal assy. The support bracket for the faring, gauges and the two aluminum boxes is all bent up, there was some damage to the wiring harness at the smaller box.
What looks OK at this point:
Front wheel, brakes, fender fork assy.
Rear wheel, Brakes, Training arm and DC Motor assy (cant test the motor, I assume it was working to be involved in a collision)
Frame appears straight, I'll need to remove more plastic to get a look.
The Batteries are intact, but I have no way to test them.
The seats have some abrasion and small tears in the cloth.
I am in Scotts Valley, California.... yea just hear the hum of the Zero factory riders as they buzz around our small town.
I can post some of these parts on eBay if it makes it easier for a potential buyer. If you would like to make an offer on something, let me know what it is, where you are (shipping), and I'll sit on it a week to see if there is any additional offers prior to selling it to the best offer.
Let me know any comments or offers you may have. If you are asking me to remove something that could be damaged by improper removal (battery packs) I'd welcome your input to make sure it gets done right.
The usable body plastic does have road rash, but could be painted.
I have taken a few pictures, I can take more specific pictures as you might need them.
Thanks
Kevin

The vectrix have suffered a great number of improvements since it went into production. It Would help a little if you tell us the date of build and the last 4 digits of the serial number. In the front part of the frame, behind the front wheel, there's a white stick where you will see the serial number and date of build. Thanx
Thanks For asking. Build Date AUGUST 2007, Last 4 of the VIN 1392. As I am pulling off the layers of plastic, I am pretty impressed with the build of this bike, I hope that they are able to revive Vectrix back into production.
I'll be pulling parts this weekend and will detail and photograph each part. I will start posting them on eBay soon.
Thanks again
Thanks For asking! Build date AUGUST 2007, the last 4 of the VIN are 1392.
I'll be posting pictures and details on eBay this weekend as I pull it apart. Ebay ID is KJP-2000
Thanks.
