I'm in QLD but I believe the Vectrix is rated as a 250cc in all states.

Have you checked with your local Council? I have also asked @ shopping ctrs, car dealers, tyre repair places (they often have accessable ppoints outside), pretty much anywhere I ride. I just tell them it will cost maybe 30-40 cents for a couple hours. Most say OK. I also usually leave some brochures...

You may want to check this electric scooter coming out in Japan in Nov. I just saw it on evworld.com. Just go to evworld or google AUTO EV JAPAN UNVEILS HIGHLY EFFICIENT ELECTRIC SCOOTER Sorry about the size. I don't know how to make it smaller. Joolz-V

[quote user="apex"]Great to read all your posts, as I'm thinking this will be my next buy. I have one question - How much did you pay in insurance? Do you think it was comparable to what you might pay for a petrol 250cc or do you think you paid more because of the higher price of the Vectrix...

Yes, it's AC.Just plug into a normal pwr pt. At the moment it's easier to carry an extension cord. A battery with 150-200 km range would be my ideal at the moment. UK have plug in stops now. It's only a matter of time.

The reverse on the scooter comes in VERY handy when parking & manouvering. And they have to come out with a lighter and more efficient lithium-ion battery or something even better. I notice they are now making electric dirt bikes. They are great on the racing circuit - more efficient - no shifting...

I love my Vectrix even at the cost. At least it's got no emissions, minimal service requirements & a minimal carbon footprint (60 cents worth of electricity for a 'fill-up'). If we wait for the government to come to the party it won't happen. People sway the government's decisions...

If I don't see any obvious powerpoints I just go to management and ask them if they have any ppts available. One of the shopping ctrs have a pwr pt right where the motorcycle parking is - very handy!. Here, I plugged in & then went and asked management if it was ok & that it would only cost...

Yes, I reckon in the next year or so they will be increasing the capacity with lithium-ion batteries or something even better. That in itself will increase the distance because of the lighter weight. I'm looking forward to 200-300km capacity. It's out there now. Come on guys. Lets go! Joolz-V

It's rated as a 250cc. Goes up to 105 km/hr. The slower you go the further you go. In town you'd get about 80-90km and on the hwy just depends on speed. If I go about 80 (on the flat) I'd get about 50km, @ 90 I'd get about 35-40 & @ 100 I'm guessing 25km or so. It also regenerates...
