At the heart of the 2011 Hesketh HZE Vectrix scooter motorcycle, Hesketh features a purpose-built electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 28.2 HP (20.6 kW) while maximum torque reaches 65 Nm (47.9 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox.
On the scales, the HZE Vectrix measures 233.6 kg (515 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.28 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 787 mm (31 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,524 mm (60 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability.
