Interesting marketing play to the rich and famous. How big would the market be for a $200,000 to $300,000 motor bike that doesn't have room for a chauffeur.

For those who think development and deliver to market of the stash is taking a long time it's worth noting the Vector was launched at ECIMA in 2018.

Old mate didn't have a big queue to jump seems he was the first customer they bought .

Having launched their first concept back in 2018, West Midlands electric motorcycle firm Arc have now delivered seven Vector production bikes, with the first going to Hollywood A-lister, Ryan Reynolds.

“The very first bike went to Ryan and the second went to Middle Eastern royalty,” Arc founder and CEO Mark Truman confirmed to MCN, adding that they have so far taken deposits for around 20 bikes.

The Coventry business intend to build 50 of the £98,000 Vectors over the next 12 months. The bike produces a claimed 115bhp, 128lb.ft of torque, and tips the scales at 240kg. It’s powered by a 399 volt battery, with charge times claimed at just 40 minutes.

I guess if the Queen flew in an Australian physio to treat her its fair enough for a Vector owner to fly in a mechanic to service his toy.
When VMT hits fair value there will probably be a heap of rich people lining up to have their measurements taken.

I wonder if VMT will introduce a tailor made option.
