The paint was incredibly shiny, and I loved the contrast between the black and white as well. Once they can get the price down to $10k as they’re planning, these vehicles likely will be ubiquitous, and that’ll be an exciting time.

Mono Racer E is a dangerous motorcycle for one. No cargo space, no stability, you can't even put your boot out to stablize a hard turn. It has no certified 24G crash cage or 6 point harness so you need a helmet. When leaning in turns, all motorcycles are dangerous due to slick spots, pea gravel patches or just rain. After surviving 5 motorcycles I feel very safe in my Arcimoto. I have 14.5 inches of car tire tread width on the road at all times, no rounded tires that slip easily. I removed my rear seat and added cargo net to have a pretty huge cargo bay bigger than any motorcycles' saddle bag and trunk capacity.

Nothing even remotely in common with a golf cart. Fail. High speed vehicles like this are not allowed on golf courses. The actual unadvertised top speed is over 80 mph. Mine does 84. I am protected in a certified 24G crash cage and a 6 point harness, so safe that no helmet, air bags or leather is needed. No golf cart in existence has proven formula one race car safety.

@@popeyegordon Golf carts may not be as safe, but yeah it’s very similar dimension wise. My cart is 1 inch longer than an arcimoto, about 10 inches less wide, but it is also taller. Has an inch more of ground clearance too. So, yeah, it’s basically driving around a super fast golf cart.

@@seanrodgers553 No it absolutely is not. You can lie forever and never make that true. You are a very insecure person with a cheater mentality that compels you to upvote your own comments. There are countless vehicles that have the approximate dimensions of golf carts. They are all different designs for different purposes. A 6 wheel ATV is the same dimension but nothing in common with a golf cart. A forklift may have the same dimensions too and it is not a 'super slow golf cart'. The 'bahrta sai' troll is notorious for attacking the threads under new vehicle design videos. I had to get him banned from video comments about the Organic Transit ELF, my other vehicle.

@@popeyegordon A) I did not like my comment, I never do. B) A forklift is not transportation like a golf cart or Arcimoto C) Yeah, an ATV is kinda similar, just serves a different purpose. Yes, I can off road my golf cart too D) There is nothing wrong with comparing a golf cart to an Arcimoto. I’m saying that as a positive. I love golf carts, an arcimoto seems like a fast golf cart. Easy to maneuver in tight spaces, easy to take around a community, easy to plug in at home, easy to just get out of the house and enjoy the ride. When I think of an arcimoto, I think of it as a fast golf cart for these reasons, I’m not sure what’s wrong with that. That’s a good thing

Correction - the default battery charge level is 90%. We have to enter a command to go 100%. This method increases total battery life. Not the only EV using this approach. $18K is a fantastic deal in 2022 for a vehicle that never needs gas or oil changes and gets the very low motorcycle insurance rate. As of now there is a $7,500 tax rebate. Didn't help me as I'm retired. Demand for EVs is set to explode with the new tax breaks.

Exactly! Just post shit like Nick did and you will die a virgin. Fact check - the many Arcimoto rental locations get their business from couples. A large part of all FUV sales come an average of two months after these are rented or driven at a demo event and the average order is $22,400 meaning they select profitable options as well. These numbers can be verified in Arcimoto's quarterly report.

This is such a total scam. anyone whos been around long enough can spot this type of scam. It looks real, but the company actually has zero chance/ability to produce at scale or maintain what they produce. The Chinese knockoffs may be worth $3-4K as a toy but anyone who thinks this is a real vehicle is sadly mistaken. these scams are meant to last for 20 years to provide income for the scammer.
