With a super lightweight aluminium chassis and magnetic brushless motor that outputs 60kW of power, 125mph top speed, a range of 44 miles at 75mph and  and it’ll eat up the quarter mile in around 12 seconds, so it’s clearly got some punch behind the throttle. It'll go into production if interest is high enough - can this be the first true production electric performance motorcycle? And if so - how long 'til they start racing it?  It will definately get the pulses racing! With only 500 available, it is a rare but truly cool piece of kit! The benchmark has been set!

While we’re waiting for further details on this exciting machine, we’d expect it to carry the same top-quality Italian running gear as its little brother, the maxi-scooter – and that means Marzocchi, Sachs, and Brembo bits in all the right places, as well as the two-way throttle-activated regenerative braking system we were so impressed with on the scooter.

The battery’s a 240v, 7.5KWh unit but we’re currently unsure whether Vectrix has moved past NiMH onto the more effective but less well-known lithium-polymer units that are leading the development charge in terms of power and range.

See them both on the Temptation Zone!
