The batteries are rated to last 10 years or 50,000 miles.
The entire Vectrix has a warranty of 2 years.

How long do the batteries last before having to replace them, and what is the cost?
When more efficient …
When more efficient batteries are developed, you’ll be able to replace them. In the future you’ll be able to go to a gas station and swap your depleted battery for a charged one for a buck or two. Just pull out the old one, snap in the new one and ready to go another 100 miles or so.
Dealer told me …
Dealer told me yesterday about 1,000. They lowered the price earlier this year to move more bikes. $8700 or so is much more acceptable than $12000.

These use salt based batteries, 100% safe to pitch it in the garbage.
I got one about two …
I got one about two weeks ago. This maxi-scooter is a blast to ride. Top speed is about 63 mph. The range varies based on how fast you ride. Typically I am averaging about 40 miles per charge.
I have a charge meter on my outlet to measure the cost. About 35 cents to recharge the battery.
4 or 5 hours to completely recharge (and balance cells) from empty. 3 hours to get it mostly full enough to go.
This is the perfect scooter for commuting in your nearby region. Freedom from gasoline.
Battery is …
Battery is cnsidered dead when reaches 80% of its original capacity due to degradation. However, the battery will function normaly.
They may last some years more, maybe at 15 years it will contain only 60% of it’s original capacity.

I so want the blue model of it from their site. Once im able to buy one i will.

Just wondering… If things pick up, what will happen to all the batteries in 10 years time?

any one knows how many have sold already?

i just test drove one of them. They are wonderful and the price was only $8,500.00. I will get one as soon as possible.
Eventually, these …
Eventually, these types of vehicles will continue to offer better and better performance and price/value ratios. I can see a roof full of solar panels recharging cars and bikes about 10-15 years in the future. Say goodbye to gas. It’s stinky, flammable, polluting and poisonous anyway.
Yes youre correct …
Yes youre correct it doesnt matter how diferent are the source of energy in the vecule because all of them will come from petroil. Like electricity, hydrogen(electrolise), compress air(compress machines)…
What we really need is an good alternative too petroil to produce energy.
Too expensive
Too expensive

I ‘ve ride also the vectrix on high ways at 100 km/h for over 40 km. It is enought on express ways!!

you can start eating your hat.. The’ve truly sold more tahn one!
I’ve ride the …
I’ve ride the Vectrix 9000 km. I’ve paid no money for the energy to ride it. How much do you pay for the oil? I really don’t care at range in urban enviroment! It suits perfect to me!

by the end of 2008 there will be a version with lithium battery… more energy in the battery = Sure you’ll get these + 50 km

Knightspy; The Jap Big 4 are in cahoots with BigOil. Why do you think **not one of them** have an EBike?? I’ll eat my hat if they actually sell a single electric bike in the US.
Yes! We’re getting …
Yes! We’re getting there.
The Vectrix is a good first try and for that alone should be applauded.
Downers:
It’s quite misleading to give a range of 65 miles when that’s at a constant 25 mph!!
And it’s urban only - being 10 mph too slow for most expressways.
But, the bike’s design is top draw, and it looks like it’s well put together.
Well done.
I wish I had $11k.
Oil Industry will …
Oil Industry will destroy us first. And no, we dont need the petrol as the main source of energy, and no, we will not stop transportation, and no, we will not starve. The problem is that some brains will block as they have been parking on obsolete all this time already. So brainwashing is still going by false but effective propaganda as long as they control and have your money to enslave you #
That’s an amazing …
That’s an amazing bike and a high quality video. If only it were to cost under $10K and have an extra 50km range…

Everything is ruled …
Everything is ruled by the supreme volume of energy that flowns from oil. Stop this flow, and in one month civilization as we know crumbles: no transport, no food, no electricity… nothing!
