A jury of 14 European automotive, alternative energy and motorcycle journalists considered every new e-Scooter released in the past year, and selected the Vectrix VX-1 Li/Li+ as the winner. The jury gathered at Circuit Zolder for extensive testing of the electric scooters and each model in the competition was scrutinized and had to pass a series of rigorous testing to be named the “e-Scooter of the Year”. The challenging criterion included Ecoscore (consumption, emissions, and noise), Driving Range, Recycling, Refilling/Reloading, Price, Performance/Consumption, Aesthetics/Styling, Drivability, and Availability in the Market. The Circuit Zolder “Clean Week 2020” award categories included e-Scooters (under 25km/h/15mph, under 45 km/h/30 mph, and over 45km/h/30 mph), e-Bicycle, e-Quadricycle and e-Motorcycle (on-road, off-road, and MX). The Vectrix VX-1 Li/Li+ won in the 45 km/h plus category.
“This is a very meaningful honor for the entire Vectrix team, especially our dedicated and talented designers and engineers,” said Brian Buccella, Vectrix Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Electric scooters like the VX-1 Li/Li+ and the VX-2 are the result of incredible commitment and focus. That's the only method for creating a great performing electric scooter.”
