Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders of nearly any experience level thanks to its automatic transmission and predictable electric power delivery.
PurposeBuilt primarily as an urban commuter that swaps gasoline for an electric hub motor, offering brisk stoplight acceleration without the complexity of shifting.
Rider FitIts moderate seat height and manageable curb weight make it accessible to riders of average height and build, though the mass is noticeable at a standstill.
CharacterA quiet, torquey, maxi-scooter-style ride with quick low-speed punch from the electric motor and a stable, substantial feel typical of larger scooters.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting long-distance touring range, high top-speed highway cruising, or any off-road capability.

2012 Vectrix VX-1 Li Plus Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Vectrix VX-1 Li Plus, 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.
