2013 Vectrix VX-3 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Vectrix for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2013 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.
