Arc Vector is an electric motorcycle made by British motorcycle manufacturer Arc Vehicles from 2017 to 2019 and by the company's successor Arc V from 2022 to 2024. Both companies filed for bankruptcy, in 2019 and 2024 respectively. The later model sold a total of 11 units. [1] The Vector had an expected range of 200 mi (320 km) on a full charge for road driving and 120 mi (190 km) at high-speed, and an advertised top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h). It was noted for its hub-center steering which handled similarly to a conventional motorcycle fork. Its retail price was 90,000 GBP. [2]
