'Arc,' the British manufacturer of electric motorcycles, announced the comeback of its iconic 'Vector' line alongside a collection of ten limited-edition 'Vector Angel Edition' bikes. The Arc Vector made its debut in 2018, quickly becoming a popular option for two-wheeled electric vehicles. Since then, the company has been reluctant to release a new iteration of the Vector, until now.
Arc announced that its Vector line will return for 2022 through 2025 with new iterations. The vehicles will also adopt Arc's 'human-machine interface' (HMI) technology , which intimately connects the rider to the bicycle through the use of a smart helmet and smart equipment. HMI is not yet ready for a public debut, but individuals lucky enough to receive one of the 10 Angel Edition bikes will receive a special preview for the technology.
