How does it compare?
Speed
In the domain of speed, the Arc Vector doesn’t merely trot; it bolts. With a top speed clocking a vertiginous 124 mph (200 km/h), it veers triumphantly ahead of the Harley-Davidson LiveWire at 110 mph (177 km/h) but finds a worthy rival in the Lightning LS-218 that blisters away at a bawdy 218 mph (351 km/h). Meanwhile, the Zero SR/F saunters comfortably at 124 mph (200 km/h), squaring up evenly with the Arc Vector.
Range
When traversing the asphalt tundra, the Arc Vector brags a respectable juice reserve of 270 miles (435 km) on a single charge. In comparison, the Harley-Davidson LiveWire hovers at a modest 146 miles (235 km). The Zero SR/F scores a practical 161 miles (259 km), while the Energica Ego also yields at 120 miles (193 km). Here, the Arc Vector undoubtedly wears the crown of endurance.
Power
Everyone loves a powerhouse, and Arc Vector chisels a promising 133 bhp (100 kW), flexing smoothly against the LiveWires 105 bhp (78 kW). The Zero SR/F provides a respectable joust at 110 bhp (82 kW). However, it’s the Lightning LS-218 that dispatches a mind-bending 200 bhp (150 kW). The Energica Ego nudges the dial with a chucklesome 145 bhp (107 kW), nudging it just shy of the Arc Vector’s figure.
Charging Time
Let’s not fiddle with knobs here, charging time is critical. Arc Vector takes a refined 45 minutes to reach 80% via a fast-charger. The LiveWire and Zero SR/F both echo this at approximately 60 minutes to 80% but falter behind in urgency. Meanwhile, the Energica Egos recharge spiel stretches to 60 minutes for the same percentage, making the Arc Vectors recharging prowess notably radiant.
Price
Ah, the cost of progress. The Arc Vector wears a staggering tag at $117,500 (approx. £95,000 / €110,000). The Harley-Davidson LiveWire enters the fray more humbly at $29,799 (approx. £24,000 / €28,000), and the Zero SR/F sits even closer to Earth at $19,495 (approx. £15,660 / €18,200). Topping the extravaganza, the Lightning LS-218 asks for $38,888 (approx. £31,000 / €36,000), while the Energica Ego hovers around $35,000 (approx. £28,000 / €32,500).
