Arc Vector’s Electric Antics & White Glove Test Rides
Ah, the thrill of the open road, the wind in your hair, and the gentle hum of an electric motor beneath you! Is there anything quite like it? I, your ever-enthusiastic yet mildly skeptical transport connoisseur, am here to discuss the British electric motorcycle maker Arc and their quite fancy, quite exclusive, Vector motorcycle.
Cruising down the lane of innovation, Arc announced on September 21, 2023, a unique test ride program for potential Vector buyers in the UK and North America. Forget those standard dealership rides and demo truck experiences, Arc is offering to bring the Vector straight to your driveway! Yes, you heard it right, folks, a white glove service that’s the epitome of luxury – or laziness, depending on which way your engine revs.
Here’s how Arc’s putting it: “Arc Vector Motorcycles can be delivered to a client's residence of choice to test ride at their convenience.” How about that for riding in style and comfort? Sure beats trying to squeeze in a test ride between lunch breaks!
Having opened their first US distributor in the good ol’ Washington state in May 2023, and after delivering their first Vectors in China and the US, Arc’s making waves, and not just because Ryan Reynolds – yes, THE Ryan Reynolds – declared his Vector the epitome of cool on Instagram.
Now, if you aren’t part of Ryan’s close-knit circle, or if you are and he’s just being stingy with his Vector, you can chat with Arc directly. Mind you, they aren’t letting just anyone hop on and zip away on this electric beauty. You’ve got to prove your purchasing prowess and share a bit of your motorcycling history. No shortcuts here!
But let’s get down to the nitty-gritty, shall we? The specifications! The Vector is no slouch in the power department. With an impressive acceleration time (alas, specifics are a tightly guarded secret), it promises a thrilling ride. Battery capacity, dimensions, and power outputs remain part of the mysterious allure, but rest assured, Arc isn’t playing around!
Of course, the price tag is as exclusive as the ride itself – but can you really put a price on luxury, convenience, and a dash of environmental friendliness? I'll leave that for your wallets to decide!
What’s clear is that Arc is redefining the electric motorcycle scene with their personalized approach, allowing riders to experience the thrill on their own terms, on their own turf. A step in the right direction? Absolutely. But this old petrolhead still wonders, is the Vector as electrifying as it sounds, or is it just another spark in the ever-growing electric market?
Only time will tell if the Vector will zoom into the hearts of riders or fizzle out like a flat tire. But one thing’s for sure – with Arc’s innovative approach, white-glove service, and a sprinkle of celebrity endorsement, it’s bound to be an exciting ride!
