VX-1 LI/LI+ Personal Electric Vehicle

The VX-1 Li/Li+ is a powerful, all-electric, all-highway-capable Personal Electric Vehicle that goes 68 mph (110 km/h), has a range of up to 40-85 miles (up to 64-136 km), accelerates 0-50 mph (0-80 km/h) in as little as 6 seconds. Each VX-1 Li/Li+ features the patented VECTRIX multi-function throttle allows riders to accelerate and slow down with a simple twist of the throttle along with a slow-speed reverse for parking. The VX-1 Li/Li+ also comes standard with the VECTRIX rugged rear-wheel mounted planetary gear drive, a lightweight aircraft aluminum frame, Brembo front and rear disc brakes, a Marzocchi 35mm telescopic front fork, Sachs dual rear shocks, a 28.2 horsepower brushless radial air-gap DC motor, 1.4 cubic feet of on-board storage and an optional top case that offers an additional 1.7 cubic feet of storage. The all-electric VX-1 Li/Li+ produces zero emissions with no need for oil or gas and offers extremely low maintenance costs and virtually silent operation. The VX-1 Li/Li+ offers superior handling due to a low center of gravity, stiff frame, and even weight distribution. The VX-1 Li/Li+ quickly recharges by plugging into a standard 110V/220V outlet and charges the batteries to 80% capacity in 2.5 hours. The VX-1 Li/Li+ on-board batteries have an estimated lifespan of 1,600 discharge cycles. The new VX-1 Li/Li+ models come standard with Lithium Ion Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. The VX-1 Li batteries have a 3.7 kilowatt hour capacity and the VX-1 Li+ has a 5.4 kilowatt hour capacity.
