2013 Vectrix VX-2 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Vectrix's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Vectrix VX-2 features a purpose-built air-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 5.4 HP (3.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 140 Nm (103.3 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox.

On the scales, the VX-2 measures 195 kg (430 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.03 HP/kg (36.11 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,408 mm (55.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
