We had a test unit that ran, but it didn't have a body on it. It also didn't have the safety limits enabled, so if you punched it, it would put full power to the wheels. This was radically reduced in the production version. So you could flat smoke most crouch-rockets as they never had a clue how fast an e-scooter could be. My first time riding it, I stood the scooter up in a giant pucker wheelie as I was expecting it to be a dog. These are not! Even with the limits on they are still pretty peppy.

Hi Chopstix,
Million dollar question - might you still have access to some of the 'unlimited' firmware for the Vectrix motor controllers? I'd love to hear some more about your experience there if you have time. I've been an avid Vectrix owner in the UK since 2007ish - so one of the first! Thanks for your time ;-) Drew
