Built around Vectrix's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2012 Vectrix VX-3 features a purpose-built air-cooled 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 automatic gearbox.
On the scales, the VX-3 measures 238 kg (525 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.44 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 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.
Within MotoLibrary's Vectrix archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2012 to 2013, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
