Greeting from Florida. Mark, as you requested I have joined you in that just over a month ago I took delivery of one of your FUVs. Your team did a great job. My FUV and I are in the process of becoming good friends. The FUV certainly attracts attention. To be clear I am a purchaser not an investor. All I can say is that I look forward to seeing more FUVs and other Arcimoto products on the road.
I’m a FUV shareholder who hope to own the product in the future, hopefully sooner than later. It’s encouraging to see Arcimoto is being well received. Thanks for your support.
Mine is in central Florida. I tinted the roof and brow and added car vent shade trim to widen the roof 2 inches. I had to wait two years to get mine after the deposit. My power bill only increased $2/mo
I have looked at this thing for awhile. I would advertise from here to jesus to get one. I love this. i 100% stand behind your product. South Carolina I live in the mountains. I would be your advertising...😁😊😉I talk about this ride to everybody. thank you.
i would love to see this available in Michigan because you can have the openest to enjoy nature and looks easy to get in and out which would be nice for my mom
I have many ideas for you, like signature tail lights like Tesla model 3 and y. You always know those tail lights . You can have computer controlled charging to discontinue charging at 80 percent to extend battery life. You could make FUV covers to prevent pollen and dust buildup. You can make a vehicle cleaning video. While it is still early, consider a new version of your logo. I have tons of ideas.
The lights are perfect as-is. It already routinely stops charging at 90% and goes to maintenance mode. All computer controlled. Covers with a perfect fit are sold by California Car Cover. I have one. There is little to clean.
How much are they ? ( to buy ) & will they be allowed in the UK ? What is the max range on them ? Do they have to have road insurance , M.O.T or similar & tax ? & finally how long does it take to fully charge up from almost zero ( flat) ?
FUV starts at $17,900, not available in UK yet, can make international preorder at Arcimoto.com, 4 hours on level 2 charger, 8 hours on level 1 charger
Who needs a Jeep and or SUV that cost over $50,000,00 where as you buy one these 3 Wheeler FUV, I will buy one during Feb'24 in NYC Streets & Highway, and the best thing in NYC you don't need a Driver's License and Insurance, it's also great to park in tight spaces.
I sat here for 10 minutes trying to say... well whatever . As you know our mommas say if you dont have anything nice to say don't say it at all That being said . Ithaca NY is sadly where you need to tap the North East . Ithaca NY is exactly why I also left the NE
if you make a better towing system, not just you, in general, then people can have a small ride and connect to a bag or trailer quick. this towing method is garbage
No. There is nothing for a little blowing rain to damage. No carpet, no wood grain dash, waterproof seats. Climate controlled sealed vehicles got us in ths mess we have today. No more free lunch. In Florida in winter I see cars idling in parking lots because they have to do that in summer but all they need is to open the damn windows. Habits will change, forced by new carbon taxes. This is nowhere near as exposed as a motorcycle but far safer. It has heated seats. If you park where it might get rain you just toss a weather cover over the bucket seat so it will stay dry for your return.
@@popeyegordon I don't need luxury but are the seats, controls, instruments and innards of the vehicle really resilient enough to be left exposed to a Milwaukee, Chicago or Madison winter out of a garage? The heated seats already more then I was expecting as far as luxury. After having suffered several people who ran through traffic signals I just like being surrounded by metal when it comes to my conveyances. I realize that such metal panels on this side would be minimal protection, but I just need the metal on all sides. Keeping a cover for the vehicle in a pack strapped on the FUV could perhaps be a viable alternative, thats a good idea. I like the concept and the ride, but I'd *REALLY* like if it were fully enclosed.
@@Helpertin The button panel has a rubber cover. The touch screen is under a substantial hood. Controls on hanelebars are standard proven motorcycle weather proof designs. There is a real nice fitting storage cover that most owners buy. I use it under my car port. But this is a motorcycle concept as far as weather proof dash goes. Nobody has a fully enclosed version. Doors are popular in northern climates but not needed. Handlebar grips are also heated. Heated defroster and windshield wiper fluid spray. What you need is there. What you don't need is not. It is vital for survival of our species to stop the deadly addiction to over sized over powered high speed steel caged climate controlled lounge couch cars. This is the moment when we change or die. What you drive is as important as not eating beef, not flying, not living in a large home.
@@popeyegordon I'm not some eco warrior and I don't seriously believe the planet is in the danger "experts" think it is in. Those same "experts" have been predicting that where I live should be completely flooded and underwater, as well as a frozen wasteland and barren desert for different halves of the year, for almost forty years now. The "experts" have track records with many dire predictions of doom that haven't come to pass. Many of these same experts staunchly opposed and still oppose nuclear power which is realistically the best option. However, perhaps one day they will be right. We all want to avoid that outcome. Which is why I'm trying to find a vehicle to help me live my life in a degree of comfort while perhaps moving to prevent dire outcomes. Don't ask me to die for the cause, I won't. Don't ask me to radically change for the cause, I already live modestly with making heavy use of the "Three R's". I realistically can only expect to purchase a vehicle once every 10-20 years, and then only due to need and not vanity. I was fortunate and my current vehicle is in good condition at a few over 100,000 and gets about 28-32 MPG. If I maintain this vehicle well I can make this one last. But I'd like to be more efficient if I can. This vehicle seems ideal for 99 out of a 100 of my trips... But were I to make this my primary vehicle, which is my intent, I would feel much better about the purchase if I could get doors and windows on it somehow. My fears are that the open interior degrades heavily from things such as rain, snow and salt they use on roads during the winters and being left open to the environment in general, which a covering could alleviate. Maybe i'm just being surly cause of life. I like where the idea of this vehicle. Even considering investing. For now though I can only work, save, research and plan.
@@Helpertin There is no higher hubris than to claim you are smarter than 99.9% of all expert climatologists on Earth. Ultimate foolishness! We are seeing the begining of banning all climate change denials in social media, just like we are doing with anti-vax and Covid misinformation. Flagged for misinformation. And by the way, every single warning Gore made is coming to pass, just a bit slower than predicted. 8 inch sea level rise in the last 100 years and evidence that will triple in the next 100. Only a jackass puts quotes around the word *experts.*
I love the simplicity, hate the price, and think the aim towards autonomous operation isn't a good idea. I know the magic robo-taxi dream is enticingly futuristic, but so are monorails. We don't need either. Please, save all the clever tech for battery management - that's what small EVs need: flawless power handling, not self-parking, cruise-control and refrigerated cup-holders. Remember Clive Sinclair? Primitive 1980s technology and a lousy battery is largely why his C-5 wasn't a success. This vehicle's strength is its lack of luxury features. Never mind enormous range or power or towing capacity; people who expect such things should buy something else. Bragging rights are for the status hungry, the socially inadequate, and stat-queens. No planet-saving EV needs [sic] air-conditioning, monstrous acceleration, cruise-control, parking sensors, central-locking, or any of the other 'added value' garbage being crammed into today's shiny toys for wealthy boys. Price aside, my only real criticism of the Arcimoto is its lack of weatherproofing. I'm a Brit based in the north of England who rides a battered old bicycle 70 miles a week, every week. The weather's atrocious - gales, rain, fog, hail, and that's just in summer. The Yorkshire roads only ever go uphill [joke], and every wind is a headwind. Getting under cover would be the only reason I'd consider owning an EV of any description. All of today's electric cars are too flashy, sophisticated and expensive for my very modest needs. I couldn't possibly justify owning one. The Aptera's way too complex, too. (I sold my old petrol car - a 1-litre Nissan Micra hatchback - over a decade ago.) Some lightweight side panels would turn the Arcimoto into a very practical vehicle - similar to some of the things the Chinese make for their home market. It'd be nice if the development team did something different, but I fear it'll follow the standard US Apple/Tesla business model, pander to the rich, and leave the world's poor the traditional choice of either cycling or walking (public transport is unbelievably expensive). Sigh.
18K is reasonable for a vehicle that never needs gas. Only a small fraction of sales is targeting the autonomous market. Lack of luxury features??? You must be joking! We have broken our biome in the search for constant comfort. The party is over. Doors are available for northern climates but not needed by half of the market. I would have no use for them, just dead weight and needless expense. You got spoiled by car doors with steel beams in them. The FUV uses a different method for safety. Going everywhere in sealed climate controlled vehicles has made us soft and we suffer from nature deficit syndrome. Time for a change, like it or not. The FUV weighs just one third as much as a car. Uses one third as much energy. Can you spell s-u-s-t-a-i-n-a-b-l-e?
As long as Archimoto does not provide a securable door option I will not buy their product. I live in San Francisco and work odd hours. I need a securable vehicle.
You are just another of the 180 million American personal car addicts. Kicking that habit is as hard as kicking heroin. You people make up thousands of excuses, none are valid. Heavy enclosed climate controlled personal vehicles are part of what is killing our biome. Cars, which you are addicted to as a base line demand for comfort, have steel beams in their doors. Arcimoto uses an entirely diffferent approach for safety - the 6 point harness that eliminates any need for a helmet or air bags, and the certified hardened roll cage. Doors do NOT make any vehicle 'securable'. The ignition system does that. There is a locking trunk. There is no stereo to or air bag or catalytic converter to steal. You can still install an alarm. The plastic door kits Arcimoto sells actually do nothing more than a security blanket. A billion motorcycles have no doors and yet they get secured by their locking forks and ignition key. My FUV needs no key, I use the 6 digit activation code. It can't get lost or fall out of my pocket.
imagine a bar across the back of your truck and you reverse into an auto clasp .. thats easier and would work .. have an x prize to make new consumer tow systems not imaginary solar cars
I really hope Arcimoto succeeds beyond their wildest dreams. Good luck to all there!

Chris, I own an Arcimoto too, in Orlando! I drive it everywhere!
Mine is in central Florida. I tinted the roof and brow and added car vent shade trim to widen the roof 2 inches. I had to wait two years to get mine after the deposit. My power bill only increased $2/mo
I’m ready!!!

Get me one for Madison WI. I'll drive it around every day to promote it. I already have a Piaggio MP3 500 so I like unique vehicles. :)
i would love to see this available in Michigan because you can have the openest to enjoy nature and looks easy to get in and out which would be nice for my mom
I hope you read all the comments here.
Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!
Can i buy arcimoto in Greece???
Not yet! Preorder at Arcimoto.com/order
Founded in 2007? Didn’t know Arcimoto is already 14 years old company.
5 prototypes before the final design. They did it right. By losing the steering wheel they saved 260 pouds of weight and 18 inches of length.

Can i get a Hoyahhhh!!!
I sat here for 10 minutes trying to say... well whatever .
As you know our mommas say if you dont have anything nice to say don't say it at all
That being said . Ithaca NY is sadly where you need to tap the North East .
Ithaca NY is exactly why I also left the NE
One thing I see wrong with don't handle front bumper on it
The flexible sacrificial front nose cone has a bumper under it.
he asks, I'm interested if the arcimoto will come to the Italian market with a high-powered battery.
I would buy an FUV right now if you had a model with seats side by side.
Never. That's an entirely different vehicle. This uses jet fighter seating to keep the aerodynamics narrow and slippery.
if you make a better towing system, not just you, in general, then people can have a small ride and connect to a bag or trailer quick. this towing method is garbage
I really want to see a fully enclosed model. I can't have a ride this valuable sitting exposed in the rain and snow.
