Sacramento is the second city to participate in this pilot program with Vectrix,
(the first highway-legal all electric scooter) where the company leases 4 scooters
to the city for a period of 4 months and for just $1 a scooter. What a deal.
Sacramento is the first city in California to participate in the program and it’s in
part due to the tenacity of city officials in making sure this partnership came
together.

According to a news item posted on the Vectrix website, California will be offering a $1,500 rebate for purchasers of the electric Vectrix scooter. Early adopters will not be punished either, as the rebate is retroactive to purchases of these $11,000 EVs made as far back as May 2007.
In other news, and as a follow-up to our recent article regarding police in the U.K. riding on Vectrix scooters to patrol parking lots, we decided to let you know that the city of Sacramento, CA, has also chosen to use the all electric maxi-scooter for certain enforcement duties. We imagine that the choice was made easier by the fact that the scooters were practically given to them, cosing only $1 each for four months, but whatever. The City of Sacramento is the first to take advantage of the offer from Vectrix but, at that price, they may not be the last.
