Cambridge UK. The Vigo Motorcycle will potentially be one of the world’s most advanced fully electric motorcycle with up to 400 miles range, incredible power that reaches 60 mph or 100kmh in 3.2 seconds.

Vigo motorcycle gracefully combines together a previously unchangeable range of up to 400 miles per charge, extreme power, magnificent design and cutting-edge technologies.

The following range has been compiled using 80% city, 20% highway environment with an average speed of 45 mph. Factors like: weight load, speed, adaptive braking ratio might gradually reduce the overall range of the vehicle. Values have been calculated taking into consideration specifications of used components.

Currently the motorcycle produces a maximum of 72db but the engineers are working on increasing it as well as improving its sound.

Government incentives towards the purchase of plug-in electric vehicles have been also established following EU countries:  Belgium, France,  Germany,  Hungary,  Iceland,  Ireland,  Netherlands,  Norway,  Romania,  Spain,  Sweden and many tax benefits are applied for electric motorcycle owners.

In the United Kingdom electric motorcycles are fully exempt from fuel duty as well as there is no Vehicle Excise Duty (also known as “road tax”) and for electric vehicles.
