VIDEO: Trying out the Vectrix electric motorcycle
ABG friend and NextGear host Matt Kelly headed up to San Francisco to check out the west coast launch of the Vectrix electric motorcycle. Marketing Director for Vectrix gives all the details on the nickel metal hydride powered two wheeler. The battery is expected to have a ten year lifespan and the bike gets a two year warranty. The bike isn't cheap at $11,000 but it doesn't use any gas, is clean and quiet and has a 40-60 mile range depending on your riding style. The video is after the break.

Wow! It's like the Tesla of scooters. Even at $11K, I'll bet they sell a bunch of them.

The price comparisons to "regular scooters" are often unfair on Vectrix. It needs to be compared against other MAXI-scooters in its size class like Honda Silver Wing and Yamaha TMax, and these arent really significantly cheaper, may in fact be more expensive when new.
