NYPD to test Vectrix electric scooters next month
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, On Two Wheels, USA
The New York Police Department will road test four Vectrix electric scooters next month reports Newsday. Vectrix scooters have a range of 60 miles, a top speed of 60 MPH and, as Vectrix president Andrew MacGowen tells Newsday, his scooters are the first all-electric vehicles to be certified to travel on any highway, street or road.
The NYPD currently has a handful of hybrid and flex-fuel vehicles but they are planning more ways to go green. Vectrix’s silent running, plug-in scooters has advantages other than zero emissions though: “You could easily sneak up on somebody if they don’t expect it” says Detective Derek Siconola, the happy guy on the Vectrix in the picture.
