Mark Truman, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Arc will ride the Vector at the infamous hill climb. The final production model of the Arc Vector will be powered by a 399V electric motor that produces about 140bhp of power and 85Nm of torque. The motorcycle is slated to be a limited edition model and only 355 units will be manufactured.

Mark Truman said, "Goodwood is the ideal place for us to show the Vector to the people for the first time. We've been testing behind the scenes and now the bike is emerging from the shadows. It is the most amazing thing both to ride and behold. Up to 1,50,000 are expected at the Festival of Speed, and I hope they all get a chance to see what we've been working on; a unique, all-electric neo cafe racer with all sorts of kit never before seen."

Designed and built in England, the Arc Vector is said to be one of the world's most advanced electric motorcycles. It's built around a carbon fiber monocoque, and is capable of hitting the 0-100kmph mark in an estimated 2.7 seconds. Arc claims that the Vector can cover over 270 kilometers within the city on a single charge, and can do up to 190 kilometers on the highway. The motorcycle features a carbon fiber swingarm, Ohlins suspensions, and Brembo brakes.

The Vector also comes with a Zenith helmet that features a head-up display. The helmet also works in conjunction with an Origin riding jacket that features haptic feedback. Haptic alerts warn the rider of a car approaching from either side, and the HUD in the helmet displays all the necessary rider information, and also works like a rear view mirror.

The Arc Vector will be commercially available in 2020, and will come with a price tag of about Rs 80 lakh, plus taxes.

Thoughts About The All Electric Arc Vector

The Arc Vector looks like it's out of a science fiction film. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if the motorcycle is featured in one. The Vector looks aggressive and looks like it means business. We're waiting to hear about the timing it sets at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
