I just got this VECTRIX scooter a few days ago, already have 200 miles on it! It really climbs hills great, wish it had a higher capacity LITHIUM battery, and possibility of perhaps 70 mph for short periods. With much difficulty, I have installed speakers an an XM satellite radio tuner with power amplifier. I am investigating lithium battery conversion possibilities, looking for at least 40 amp-hours.-Bob

Re: VECTRIX in the workks-I will be adding to/modifying this ...
Welcome to the club! I'm glad to hear of another V here in Maryland, I have not heard of too many. I am in Brookeville.
Your addition of a radio, amp and speakers sounds interesting. I have been thinking of such an addition as well. Where did you mount everything, and how are they powered?
