Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for new and experienced riders alike thanks to its automatic transmission and manageable, scooter-like handling.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a quiet, torque-rich electric commuter for urban streets rather than long-distance or performance riding.
Rider FitA fairly heavy machine for a scooter at 227 kg, so riders benefit from decent strength and confidence at low speeds and when maneuvering it off its stand.
CharacterOffers brisk, silent, instant-torque acceleration off the line typical of electric hub motors, with a top speed limited to modest city-friendly levels.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting highway touring range, off-road capability, or high top-speed performance.

2011 Vectrix VX-1 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Vectrix VX-1, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
