Vectrix releases first image of electric trike

Vectrix-trike.jpgThis is the new Vectrix trike. Expect performance to be identical to the two-wheeler’s 62mph top speed and 68-mile range. The riding experience will be familiar to anyone who’s ridden a Piaggio MP3, only quieter. No details have been released yet.

I went bar hopping in New Orleans on the prototype Vectrix about a year ago. It was great; a bit heavy, but no sound, sufficient power and cool reverse throttle engine breaking. The only problem was about 5 minuets of drive time between when the “low battery” light came on and the when the bike became as useful as a paperweight. At that point we were forced to tow it behind a Vespa with a sidecar the last 8 blocks. It was quite a sight.
