Re: Spotted!
It could have been a possibility for me, as my commute was relatively short, but the 62mph top speed wouldn't have been very good on the fast dual carriageway I used at the time. And of course it was stupidly expensive, compared to a petrol scoot.

Re: Spotted!
Yep, which is a good basis for comparison to show the progression of electric PTWs.
Back in 2006, I was looking at buying a top of the range T-Max Black Max. The retail price was around £5500.The Vectrix was £7000.
In 2020, Supersoco's CPX has the same top speed as the Vectrix, a greater range and a price tag just over £4k. A base mode T Max costs £10,200.
I have only included the T-max as a comparison of prices against performance, not as a direct competitor.
In reality, taking like-for-like, the EV was 127% of the cost of the T Max. Now it is 41% of the cost.
