I paid $24K (with doors) to electrify my twenty-two mile work commute in San Diego. It can reach 83mph on the freeway and drive like a ninja in traffic. I work at the airport and live ten miles to the beach, the rock star parking alone is worth it. It's a viable option if the specs work for you. My gas cars sit idle.
I was an original investor in this company but they've radically changed focus and pricing since the beginning. This vehicle was supposed to originally come to market around 10-11K which made it compelling. Now it's doubled in price, they've added many more variants and other products (e.g. cybertrike) and they cannot produce the original units in volume still.
Not even close. The original investor list, all of whom put down 100-1000 in advance, was thousands long. Most of them still haven't seen their vehicle. Haven't even been contacted and kept up to date on estimated production date for their vehicle.
Agree that for around $24k + you can simply purchase a new or slightly used super reliable, fun vehicle, with great MPGs....a Toyota Prius! :)..and as an extra bonus, it comes for FREE, with real doors, super cold AC and a awesome heater, with adjustable windows to feel the breeze in your face as you wish, lots of fun colors, tons of carrying space if you flip the backseat down, and you can still travel with the Arcimoto pack on weekends is an option as well!🥳
You can get a used Prius for this money and get more range, storage, AC, passengers, etc. Price needs to come down to get people to really look at them.
This vehicle with its small size looks more suited for people that perform services such as deliveries, or shown in the video (police), etc. This is definitely not for families and I would prefer a vehicle with 4 wheels. Also need a vehicle with more storage space than what this provides. I would not want to drive this in winter time weather which we have where I live. Anyway, thanks for the video, take care.
Lol. Would installing doors and windows really hurt your bottom-line that much? Show some footage of them being used in the rain instead of on a sunny, cloudless day.
I love the general concept, although I'd like to see all models tilt. I'd also like to see them available in Australia but you'll need to be careful with your marketing and refer to yourselves as 'ARK-e-moto' because 'ARSE-e-moto' will limit your prospects to very niche markets.
How do the First Responders carry there medical Equipment, cause there is no space. In Germany First Responder have 2 Pax Bagpacks, a suction unit and a AED
I agree with you in terms of pricing! I think it' s a good product. If i could rent it here in Austria, i would do it. There are many similar products on the web, but far most of them are prototypes. Nice to see, that this one is available 😊
❤MuchBetter to make manufacture here in the province sorsogon city philippines❤also make supply in all province luzon,visaya,and mindanao for fast to have person can be have your product.maybe can be swap on single motor then add some cash as debit loan monthly to pay up to 2years to pay only
i don't understand the concept of e-vehicles when you are still charging it with electricity that uses coals or other materials that produce emission gases that can harm the environment. why not make it a solar powered vehicle?
the solar conversion to power is not yet efficient..there have been many solar powered vehicles but they carry huge solar panels..maybe you can come out with a small solar panel but efficient enough to power a car..
I bet electric bikes cannot match the gas fed bikes when it comes to long distance travel. Electric bikes has the problem of spending long period of time while charging and charging stations are less accessible.
You've got a wide track anyway so put another wheel on the back. And a couple of doors while you're about it. Who's coming up with all these idiotic things? For warm, dry climates only
Electric is not the total answer because we’re in rolling blackouts all the time all summer long so you know talking about sustainable and all that that may not be all together right the grid may not be able to handle all this. It wasn’t built to I know that.

700 in 4 years isn't volume?

@@FatherOfTheParty I was being sarcastic but i'm glad you added you 2 cents.
Can you tell I'm a little chuffed by the fact that I'm still waiting? :)
@@FatherOfTheParty Gotcha and the once every 3 month videos of them changing out the management doesn't help either.
I like the FUV although its a bit expensive. They should bring the price down to $10000 then i believe it will sell.
Very nice vehicle but also very expensive, ordinary people here in Philippines can't afford. 😭

For 24k you can get a new Maverick, just way overpriced for what it is
The hybrid Maverick is going about that 24k mark as well, so much more function, The Toyota Stout will be another contender.
Arcimoto groth 2024 Insha Allah Because my favourite company
If I could lease one out in Midwest to check out all features...I well someday it will be in reach!❤

I think they are great. However very pricey. Would love to be able to afford one. Need more informationon your Electric bikes with enclosures.
are they all hand built? if they had a high production facility could be a great urban transport option
I love it. How can I have here in the Country
Good superb

It is pronounced 'ARK-e-moto', so I don't know why this narrator pronounces it incorrectly.

Sounds like he is reading the company brochure. Fortunately you can watch a video review of this EV.
Love it can it be fully Enclosed with heater/a.c.!???
Make door provision in it to refrain from rain.
It rains a lot in Oregon and the Arcimoto stays dry. I'm mostly conderned about the cold in some climates.
The MLM trike was discontinued over a year ago and you released this video 11 days ago. Huh?
What about weather? Do these vehicles have doors or snap-ons?
Half doors for 2.5k😳
di Indonesia diadakan dong & ada produknya dijual👍🙏
🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍
구입은 어떻게 하나요???
Are they doing anything about the short 100 mile range.
How do the First Responders carry there medical Equipment, cause there is no space. In Germany First Responder have 2 Pax Bagpacks, a suction unit and a AED
Its a rickshaw only with a futuristic design
こうゆう遊び心は日本にはないね 困ったものだ。この乗り物に乗れる国が羨ましい😢
3輪車跟4輪車一樣寬 還做啥3輪車 不如做可伸縮車體 加長載人 載物容積
No one is spending 20,000-25,000 for those Electric vehicles !!!
Its nice and all but God i hope there's doors, not every place on earth are equally safe
Way too Expensive
Price
I like it but it is to expensive! Fit it with a sodium-ion batt. and you could bring the price down by two thirds.
I agree with you in terms of pricing!

Make it solar provision also.
Why it has to be a three wheeler - why not four?????????????????
Just a toy for the price of a real car! Just imagine what you look like when a SUV hits you in one of these death traps.
Even the police used it
just needs solar panel and smaller battery
Everyone I see shows there knees right up to the dash, so anyone over 5'8" would not fit well. looks that way to me.

Doors?
2.5k more
Really stupid way to get around, no doors or climate control. Just use a gas car that has all the stuff people want.
Sorry but still to expensive😊
For the price this makes no sense at all, it shouldn't cost more then a 500cc motorcycle.
You've got a wide track anyway so put another wheel on the back. And a couple of doors while you're about it. Who's coming up with all these idiotic things? For warm, dry climates only
"promo sm"
And you’ll have to drive your EV for 90K miles before you break even on the pollution that is released into the atmosphere when making an EV battery.
Wait i thought gas bad...battery good😄

Agreed.
And what happens when it rains or snows? Oh yea, you’re cold, soaking wet or your lips turn blue because you’re so cold.
Doesn’t pronounce Arcimoto correctly and has completely wrong information (not adjustable seats). Yikes.
AI can't even pronounce the name correctly.
It’s a F You Vehicle
