feature wish list
Jim Robinson
wrong way, of the many scooters I've ridden this scooter is second
only to the Burgman 650 in performance and ergonomics and I think that
is an extremely high bar. I've no regrets about selling the Burgman to
make room for the Vectrix. The joy of -never- stopping to get gas
continues to outweigh these quibbles. Soon I'll add to that the joy of
never doing oil changes. Whee!
Brakes swapped with the front on the left.
Is there room for more storage on the right side of where the current
glove box is? If not, what's in there? Some sort of easy to open with
gloves on unlocked storage would be nice for, say, bridge toll money
and parking cards and such.
Lower seat height.
More leg room, more foot room, lower running boards (perhaps all ruled
out by battery size and placement.)
Mirrors moved from the handlebars to the fairing.
Luggage rail (I understand a Givi compatible rail is in the works,
this seems ideal to me.)
How about a time of day charge timer? The Vectrix knows what time it
is, I'd like to be able to tell it to start charging at some
particular time if it finds itself plugged in with a simple override
for 'charge now'. That'd save me having to install a timer on the
outlet I plan to use.
Better use of instrument space. I find that I care a lot less about
how many bars of charge I have than about estimated range. I'd like to
see estimated range alongside distence traveled featured prominently
in the right cluster with the analog charge indicator taking up less
space.
KPH? Please, move the MPH to the outer ring, none of the speed limit
signs in SF are in KPH and I can't read the MPH inner ring very well
at all riding during the day. I do understand wanting to use the Bully
Pulpit to push for change, and frankly I rarely look at the speedo
anyway, so I won't be real put out if this were never changed.
