As part of its environmental policy and endeavours to reduce its carbon footprint, the Force India Formula One Team is delighted to announce a partnership with Vectrix UK Ltd, the producers of the world's first high-performance, zero emission, electric motorcycle.
Vectrix will supply the team with two Force India-branded electric maxi-scooters to use at races, tests and at its Silverstone factory. The pioneering bikes run exclusively on battery power, which is recharged by plugging the onboard charger into any standard electrical outlet. Fully-charged, each bike has a range of up to 68 miles, making the Vectrix the 'greenest' way to get around. With each bike having an acceleration of 0-50 in 6.8 seconds and top speed of 62mph, the team won't be compromising on performance either.
