Vectrix Corporation, a familiar company in the scooter business, has filed for Chapter 11 and has announced planned October auction of its assets estimated to be worth $5 million. The target date has been set for October 29 which if not held could push the company in dire straits. Included in their planned auction are patents, trademarks and licenses associated with their line of marquee scooters. Also up for grabs are the Vectrix’s shares in its European subsidiary.

Vectrix is drowning in debt estimated somewhere in between $10 to $50 million. The company which was founded in 1996, has been relying heavily on equity financing and working capital.
