Vectrix VX-2 just a re-bodied e-max 110S, costs $700 more

Remember the electric Vectrix VX-2 that was unveiled at last month’s New York Motorcycle Show? Well it turns out that the scooter isn’t exactly new, but rather a partially re-styled e-max 110S, an electric scooter that went on sale in Europe last year. With equivalent performance to a 50cc scooter and a low price (for an EV) of $5,195, the VX-2 looks like the perfect vehicle for emissions-free city-center transportation. So why the fuss? The price. In Europe, the e-max retails for about €3,500 which converts to $4,473. That price differential is exaggerated in England, where the e-max currently sells for £2,800 and the VX-2 is projected to go for around £4,500.
