Company History
Vectrix launched one of the first mainstream electric maxi-scooters with regenerative braking and serious city performance. Range and cost challenged the business, but the VX-1 showed EVs could be roomy, stable, and quick off the line. Enthusiast communities kept many running with battery upgrades. Historically, Vectrix is a landmark experiment that pushed charging, thermal management, and EV UX forward for later brands.
