Scooterific Erranding. By Nancy Isles Nation, Marin Independent Journal [California], August 13, 2008. "A San Rafael motorcycle shop is one of 45 dealers nationwide to sell the Vectrix electric scooter, a cycle that charges in three hours… The Vectrix is larger than traditional scooters and easily carries its driver and a passenger -- and has a roomy compartment to stash groceries or a briefcase… Vectrix of Middletown, RI, was established in 1996 to develop 'zero-emission' vehicle technologies based on two-wheel designs… 'The Vectrix is perfect for local residents who need to commute or just run around doing errands,' [said Cary Littell, owner of Marin BMW Motorcycles]. 'You wouldn't take the yacht to go water-skiing, so why fire up a huge SUV to run down to the local market?...' The scooters sell for $9,290… can travel about 35 to 55 miles… [and have] a top speed of 62 mph."
