Vectrix zero emission scooter: From zero to green in 7 seconds

VectrixWhile motorcycles and scooters tend to get better mileage than your typical SUV, or even compact car, they usually still chug a little gas an spurt out a bit of gray stuff. The Vectrix ZEV, on the other hand, is 100% electric, meaning you get no tailpipe emissions (which makes sense since there's no tailpipe).

The Vectrix ZEV is pretty zippy. It's able to go from 0 to 50 miles per hour in seven seconds, and has a top speed of 62 miles per hour. You can travel about 50 miles on a single charge, so this scooter's obviously meant more for city travel than cross-country trips.

You can pick up a Vectrix ZEV for $10,000 to $12,000.
