Vectra builds bikes on the border between vehicle and instrument.
Every frame carries its own torque curve, cut and wiring. Frame 01 was built for people who cross the city in the dark, in the rain, every day — where being seen is a safety margin, not a style.

Frame 01 — City Line
Four builds, one frame. Each bike is issued with its own frame number and a measured specification — nothing on it is decoration.

We did not want another bike that looks electric. We wanted one that behaves electric in February.
Mads Holst
Founder · Copenhagen
Vectra started in a basement workshop in Nørrebro with two frames, a welding table and a disagreement about what a city bike owes its rider. Nothing has been outsourced since.

Notes from the test
Short entries written during the winter rides. No conclusions, just what happened.
Nørrebro · 07:40 CET
Salt eats everything
The first chains lasted three weeks. That is why Frame 01 runs on a belt and a sealed hub.
Amager · 16:05 CET
Dark at four
Lights are not an accessory here. We wired them into the frame so nobody can forget them at home.
Workshop · 10:15 CET
Nothing here is decorative
Every line on the frame is a weld, a cable or a reflector. If a detail could not explain itself, it did not ship.
