Anyone thought of making the switch?

Probably not seriously I imagine... but this is starting to look more viable...

Lovely scooters - I've sat on one - but I think the company's gone bust.

Their website is still running and this article would seem to suggest that they have been bought out and are trading as normal: http://green.autoblog.com/2009/11/28/vectrix-lives-again-has-lithium-future/

I had a electric scooter called the Lepton Oxygen. They are great for riding around town, but for taking a joy ride they are extremal limited.
They say the max speed on the Vectrix is 62 MPH and the range is 68 Miles. But look close and it say range is 68 miles at 25 MPH. The battery technology is still not here yet to make the bike usable to me and most others.

Yes, Vectrix has declared bankruptcy (sp???) Chapter 7 I think.
I think I saw it at Scooterreview.com or justgottascoot.com.
