Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for complete beginners and casual riders thanks to its automatic transmission and low, gentle top speed.
PurposeBuilt purely for short, silent, zero-emission urban commuting and errand-running rather than any kind of performance riding.
Rider FitIts low 760mm seat height and modest 195kg weight make it easy to manage for riders of nearly any size or strength.
CharacterA quiet, eco-conscious electric scooter that prioritizes simplicity, low running costs, and effortless city maneuvering over speed or excitement.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, or any rider seeking real acceleration or high-speed capability.

Rider Fit Visualizer

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

Feet:

At 760mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Vectrix VX-2, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 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.
