I am ready to buy one of these, cash in hand. Just wish I could get one tomorrow. I have been on a list for 1-2 years and am still waiting. Thought about investing in the company but, that won't get a vehicle to me faster. I don't need a monstrosity of a vehicle. The last car I purchased was a Fiat 500 which gave me 40 mpg. I was the first to have one in Fayetteville, GA. I had soooooo many people ask me about it. Today when you drive downtown Fayetteville, GA you see them everywhere. I would love to see if the Arcimoto can become as popular in Temple, TX and Killeen, TX. I am not only trying to make my automotive needs GREEN but, I am in the planning stages of building a container home with solar power to reduce my foot print for my grand children and their children. I believe in your product and your dream for environmental efficiency, footprint and affordability.
It' takes the place of a car on the road but u'r in open air. what's the advantage compared to a small car ?
I am one of the many who put down the $100 deposit for the SRK. Today 11/11/17 my son and I drove from Portland area to Eugene to visit the new Arcimoto facility where they will be built in I hope large numbers so I can get mine sooner than later. It is a large modern building where many manufacturing machines were already installed. They had all 7 of the previous model prototypes on display. The model 8, the one being built is the only one with motorcycle style handlebar, all the others had a steering wheel. I anxiously away delivery of mine in 2018.
Guys this is a very cool vehicle. Small e powered commuters are so sensible especially for commuting and shopping. Sometimes I think its difficult for people to imagine this type of travel without seeing one up front or better still, trying one. (Great to see that very brave lady from the TV show "Alone" on the add near the start). She's an inspiration and so is your vehicle, Thanks guys.
Good going. Wishing you much success.
Yours Truly,
A Eugene Resident
Well done guys, a step in the right direction
Cool, hope the production jumps up more...be interested in seeing these get a larger circulation around USA for all different purposes and commuting applications as well as more flexible distribution needs. Thank you Arcimoto!!
Hey, I like regular milk and regular eggs. None of this fancy vegan stuff for me. But you do have a nice vehicle! The problem is that this video is three years old and this is the first time I've heard of your FUV. When are you going to get it out there in the market place?
great video and wise idea. I like it. and am thinking of getting one or two.
its great. and I am from Michigan so this one will be great to getting around town.
An "in-town" economy version which tops out at 45 MPH or so and thus weighs even less?
all the best and hope to see one in real on the road soon !
So, how long do I have to wait, until it is really available here in Germany?
I AM SOLD ON THIS CONCEPT. I ORIGINALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE RENAULT TWIZY. BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE USA.I LIVE IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. AND THE ARCIMOTO IS THE ULTIMATE PERFECT COMMUTER OPTION.
IWANTIN !!!SAY NO TO GAS & OIL.
Glad you dig it!
what happens in snow and winter when it cold.
They have heat & solid panel package. They have a video of it in snow and seems to handle as well as another car. In really bad snow around here I see Prius stuck all day long. I personally would keep my 4x4 SUV and replace my commuter car with this, the 4x4 would be used for winter and family trips and this could be used for the other 20,000 miles I drive a year on gas.
Steve wear a coat and gloves...
Presumably on cold winter days you put your coat on to leave your house, take it off when you’re in your car, put it on again when you get out, then take it off again in a building... with this you just keep your coat on and sit down. So it’s actually simpler! There might be a breeze on your face but the side panels might resolve that.
Love it!!
Is absolutelly amazing vehicle, is beautifull, I want one but pitifully I live far away. Sendme to Colombia.. :)
This is the best ride ever. Hope is that I can help you take the next step to let the world know you are making a difference. Thank you hope to talk to you soon. David McCray.
I'd be happy with top speed of 70 km/h...
I want to see an arcimoto video while in the rain....
says they will have optional hard doors, can't imagine it would have any issues with stability in the rain as my motorcycle does just fine, its the driver experience that sucks in the rain.
The will come with a windshield wiper.
I would be happy with less of a top speed as well like say 70 KMH (42MPH or so). I say that because with all the traffic that is out there and with the speed zones it is rare that I ever drive faster than that. If reducing the size of the motor would further reduce the curb weight, then I think that that would be a logical direction to take the vehicle to further increase our efficiency.
scoutcoupe redesigned
I had a luxury of owning a few scoute coupes, this is it evolution
Nice hopefully that will be available here in my country the Philippines and our gov support electric vehicles.
Do this things have doors?
Waoooo good.
Me interessa comprar!!! Onde encontro?
Very nice
Import to UK? I love it 👌
Do you have an estimate when the vehicles will be available for purchase. I'm very much looking forward to purchasing one.
I am a fairly early on my deposit, and I am told I won't get delivery until late 2018.
That's nice
I have driven 35 thousand electric miles in a 2015 Leaf SL and a Kia Soul EV+ in Oregon. My Leaf is for sale. If it sells, I would consider of these as a second car. It rains a lot here, and cool temps so it would need doors and a heater. It would be interesting to compare this to an EV running around the coast range.
Heater will come standard, doors optional.
I want one so bad
As soon as my old ice car dies i will totaly go for an srk
My other question is. Seeing that it has 3 wheels, what about this issue of its stand on being a car or motorcycle. The fact that you would be forced to wear a helmet might hinder sales. I'm hoping that because it's inclosed and you have seat belts that a helmet would not be mandatory.
They would likely have to invest millions and crash a ton of these to prove it safe enough to get that classification, but one can hope. I personally am fine wearing my helmet as it is lets be honest not as safe as a car, but is definitely safer than a standard motorcycle.
Many states have helmet exemptions for motorcycles with enclosed shells.
Most states, I'm pretty sure, classify the enclosure as a helmet.
Awesome..how can I buy bring here to Pakistan
"it's really cool and fun" ........Until its really cold or really heavy rain comes sideways into the cabin area. I would love to know what contingency design plans are in place to deal with that inclement weather challenge/issue.
Here in Oregon, we drive in the rain and snow all the time. Even without doors you stay remarkable dry and comfortable thanks to panoramic roof, windshield, heated seats and grips. Are advice for inclement weather is always the same: slow down, drive safe, bundle up, enjoy the ride.
Arcimoto how can this vehicle be used with fleets and last mile delivery. Just one pizza at a time ? Did you build a prototype for delivery vehicles ? Thanks
@@PhilthyMr they did, 1 seated vehicles with way more space
I picked up my FUV on the coldest day of the year so far in December 2020 in Eugene. Heated grips, heated seats - no problem with regular warm biking clothes.
Nice concept, but I'd consider not pushing the "hemp milk and chicken free eggs" vibe if you want to reach main stream sales
does it have heat and cooling for extreme weather?
It's a motorcycle.
Heated seats and grips.... Don't know about cooling. Drink more water, wear a shade hat.
Will be avalable in Puerto Rico? Please say yes! : (
Need some clean streets to drive this vehicle on, buddy.
Does anyone else recognize the lady from the history channels "Alone" show in this video.
What is the tallest person can drive this vehicle because I’m 6 feet 6’6” tall
Our founder is 6'5" with room to spare!
@@arcimoto ok that’s great when will you guys come to Connecticut because I want to try it for sure
Working on it!
I need one
Option for solar power roof and doors! ;D
Good call.
Arcimoto perfect!
Doors will be an option when sales begin.

A solar powered vehicle either needs to be very slow or it needs to have a lot of sky facing surface area compared to the drag and rolling resistance that it faces.
The SRK -compared to solar cars raced in Australia- has little sky facing surface area, and very high drag. Also, most of the US does not reliably get as many hours of cloud free daytime as Australia.
A freight train would be a good candidate for pv, but it would probably have to be completely grade separated from other train traffic
i wonder if this car get stay to a long driving its better if this is vehicle can switch to solar energy power in case it run out of electric power
They should be placing solar panels on the roof instead of a clear plastic window. That 200 watts would provide about 1/4 of the power used to completely charge the battery in a day. Since many of us will not completely discharge the battery the solar will actually provide 100% of the power some owners need on most days they drive this, for a cost of only $500 additional vehicle price.
We are planning on having a solar roof option. Good call!
A 200 watt panel in a place with 5 sun hours per day is 1kWh. The 70 and 120 mile versions come with 12 kWh and 20 kWh packs. This gives it a ballpark figure of about 6 miles per kWh that you could pull from sunlight in a day in a mostly sunny place. It's enough to handle a short commute or make trips to the store. Americans only drive 37 miles a day on average so you would charge 6 kWh/day on average. Your math has it at 1/4th and mine is 1/6th so our assumptions and math are definitely on the same page at least.
They are talking about an optional solar roof, but that will not recharge the battery in a reasonable time.
😊amigos buenas noches cuánto sale una moto de estas y si se puede traer a Venezuela.
Just tell us,how far can you go,how long does rechrge take
Hermann Otto E
The base model goes about 70 miles on a charge, an optional model goes 130 miles. Charge time depends on the charger, standard takes longer a Level 2 a lot less.
A love call from Japan😍
I need a vehicle with a recumbent seat, extremely low repair needs, and pedals that I can use or not use depending on what my disability is like that day. Could Arcimoto help with that? I am not alone and as we boomers get older there will be more folks needing exactly this. Please, please, pretty please help us out :D
could be wrong but as far as pedals go I think it's like a motorcycle as far as accelerating goes - it's all in the handle
Your choice for solar/pedal powered combinations is the ELF and the PEBL. You are smart to understand how important pedaling for exercise is. And vehicles light enough to pedal are the most environmentally friendly.
No, the throttle is on the handlebars, the brake is on the floor. It uses regenerative braking to stop it on light stops.
I want to buy one with doors..
How much
How much is it? I couldn't understand.
Check out our target specs here: www.arcimoto.com/vehicle/#specifications
I see this as a more viable option than solo. Solo is too expensive
Want...want...want! When? When? When? All I do is wait...wait...wait.
"chicken free eggs"
Da gibt es professionellere Dreiräder ;-)
I want information how do get one that's awesome
Edgardo Salguero remember the Elio car?
Pay the $100 deposit and get in line.
what about for licensing
It registers as a motorcycle, but can be driven with a normal driver's license in most states.
was hoping it would stay motorcycle class, I pay $90 a year to insure my motorcycle for full coverage and $1,500 for my car.
Jared Williams it insures as a motorcycle.
I love it.. but here in the UK. They will tax us beyond belief.. if we could flap our arms and fly.. They would tax us for it.
[quote]Is insurance for the SRK less than car insurance?
From our discussions with various insurance providers, they’ve estimated that their coverage would be closer to that of a motorcycle.[/quote]
Yea motorcycle insurance is much higher than for cars , but good idea. I may consider it instead of buying a bike
I'm gonna guess your from Canada? Most my motorcycle friends from up north tell me how insane your insurance costs are. Here I pay $90 per year full coverage for my motorcycle insurance and $1,500 per year on the car.
In Oregon I have a 3 wheel 400cc motorcycle and my insurance is a little over $300 a year full coverage.
How much are they
Can kids have them
Can your company send me one on my birthday i want a light brown
one with red strips on it do have to have tags i just want one for free on my birthday please ARCIMOTO
PLEASE im begging yall i want mine with doors and wind shield wipers
ARCIMOTO PLEASE reply to this please i want one
And i want a radio bluetooth touchscreen radio cup holders and heating and air condotiomer
Please i will talk to yall on Facebook add me so i can send adress
Not viable until batteries can give you a range of at least 400 km
I have an unusually long 156 km round trip commute and I rarely use more than 35% of my Tesla Model 3's battery. The average person has a commute 1/3rd of what I do. This isn't for single vehicle families, this is a second vehicle strictly for commuting and short trips.
"We've been working on this for over a decade" 😆😆....6 years later, still not available. LOL. LOL. LOL.🤣🤣🤣
I would not want to drive this on a regular road with speeds over 30 mph. A toyota corolla has enough weight to crush you, let alone a pick-up truck, tho that is same issue people who ride motorcycles have anyways, which is why i do not ride motorcycle, I know too many people who got hurt badly & few who died. I WOULD not say this is efficient cause something this small & lightweight should be super economical/high miles.
This might work out ok in crowded city like New York where everyone has to drive sloooow, so your chances of dying if hit are low.
Remember: a battery is not a source of energy. A battery is a storage vessel for energy produced somewhere else. If your local utility plant is hydropower, say, then you have a hydropowered vehicle. If your local utility is nuclear, then you have a nuclear-powered vehicle. And if your local utility is a coal-fired plant, then your Arcimoto is essentially a coal-fired vehicle. It will still have CO2 emissions, just not from the tailpipe. The emissions will occur at the utility plant. And if your vehicle is going to be fossil-fuel-powered anyway, the most efficient way to do it is with a gasoline-powered vehicle.
Check your science sources. blog.ucsusa.org/rachael-nealer/gasoline-vs-electric-global-warming-emissions-953 While it is true that fossil-fueled electric plants also pollute, the overall impact of an electric vehicle is much less than that of a gas-powered car, mostly because of the direct conversion of carbon vs watt usage for the same relative distances. And we can also push for a sustainable grid powered by solar, wind, tide and geothermal energy.
Correct. Tom Nally is not responding to the information in the video and appears to be writing a pre-packaged talking point, since he totally ignores the MPGe rating that is given in the video. Given 230 MPGe figure, even an original power source that has TWICE as CO2 emission per kWh of energy has the same CO2 emissions as a 115mpg automobile. So in order for "the most efficient way to do it" being a gasoline powered vehicle has to have 115MPG. Further, given the growing hydro, wind & solar contribution, many grids in the US have the same or lower CO2 emissions per kWh as gasoline, so to be better than the CO2 emissions of an Arcimoto in THOSE grids, you need a 230 MPG gasoline powered vehicle. Good luck finding that.
I think the people above me already covered it but why is it fair to only count emissions from gasoline at the point of combustion in the engine and measure it against the entire supply chain for electricity? If you are going for an apples to apples comparison wouldn't you also need to include the costs and energy involved to refine petroleum, obtain it, and secure supply (which involves expensive international politics and conflicts)? Seriously if you are going to measure the whole supply chain for grid power against EV's you must also measure supply chain for petroleum against combustion cars or you are comparing apples or oranges.
Your point is valid. The average efficiency of power generation at the electric plant is about 43%. The transmission and distribution efficiency is about 90%. The conversion of AC power to DC for the battery is about 90%. When these are multiplied together, you get about 35% efficiency by the time power gets to the battery. (There are additional losses when the battery discharges.) But my understanding is that the EPA allows plug-in vehicle makers to calculate equivalent MPG as if the vehicle was its own power plant, operating at 100% efficiency. That is, the EPA allows plug-in vehicle makers to ignore all of the power losses that take place. Warren Meyer has discussed the issue several times, including this piece in Forbes Magazine: bit.ly/2ogcZCC
@Tom Nally The same argument mostly applies. When I burn a gallon of fuel do we measure the fuel used by the truck that delivered it to the gas station before I pumped it? Again measuring the entire supply chain of electric against only the ICE combustion is comparing apples and oranges and to add insult to injury it still comes away cleaner because electric motors are so much more efficient than ICE's.
Shame it was just a pipe dream.
some of us can't afford this.
Some can't afford a Tesla, so what is your point?
to bad they couldn't make that a hybrid
That would be going backward, lots of hybrids around but none for $12K.
Lo mismo NUNCA ponen el $$$$ y en donde conseguirlas sin información esto es 💩💩💩💩 GRACIAS si das """costos y en donde se consiguen
Hopefully your next generation won't require a garage to charge. #Plug-in Hybrid
Not everyone owns a house with a garage or driveway. Most city dwellers, who live in apartments, lack the infrastructure from which to recharge a fully electric vehicle. A plugin in hybrid would have unlimited range and would increase the market for the FUV.
You can charge in parking spaces without needing a garage. Parking spaces with level 2 (220v) SAE J1772 chargers are getting pretty common but you could even run an extension cord out to your driveway. Home Tesla chargers generally plug into a 220v NEMA 14-50 outlet which seems viable enough here and you see a lot of them on plugshare so between available SAE chargers and plugging your own charger into (110v) wall outlets or NEMA 14-50 220v there are options. I don't currently have a 220v outlet in my garage but I'll probably get one installed because sooner or later I know I'm going to need one. After everything is installed swapping out the plug standard isn't a big deal but I'm kind of hoping Arcimoto goes with NEMA 14-50 since that seems to be the most popular with EV's.
Most EV's and hybrids in the US other than Tesla use the same SAE standard plug that Arcimoto will use. Tesla supports it too but with an adapter.
Thank you. I am aware of the current infrastructure and it is still weak and will not inspire the majority of city dwellers to go full electric. We will disagree on the standard for "common" for now.
If you are going to build a combustion engine into something like this it's almost not worth the cost and complexity of making it hybrid. Elio motors is a scam but the idea that an enclosed trike would get really good gas mileage is mostly accurate. You would already be getting 60+ MPG even before adding the complexity of the hybrid system and some of that technology is still under a mountain of patents owned by Toyota, Alex Severinsky, and others. A few of the early hybrid patents should be expiring now but with gas mileage already being so high for enclosed trikes to begin with it doesn't (currently) make sense to take on the legal and technical complexity of going down that road. The litigation companies like Toyota and Ford fought to allow them to sell hybrids would crush a small startup and EV's are both mechanically simple and mostly royalty free.
Enclosed trikes are smart because motorcycles are light and have a small frontal area but have a drag coefficient close to 1 but cars are aerodynamic (Model S is 0.24) but heavy with a large frontal area. This is why Elio claims an 84 MPG and Arcimoto claims 230 MPGe and no other cars or motorcycles are able to even approach those figures. Batteries are expensive and this is pretty much the only platform efficient enough to allow use of a small inexpensive battery.
It's a shame that Elios and Aptera didn't have better business plans in place. I don't know about the patent situation. I was wondering if it would be possible to incorporate a small portable generator like a Honda EU2000 and use it to power the electric motors directly or to charge the batteries overnight.
You could probably run a generator on a small trailer you pull behind too but Elio's problems are probably deeper and maybe more cynical than just lack of a good business plan. Paul Elio was most likely a con artist from the beginning. I could go into a lot of detail why but probably not here lol
Who can afford it when the Oil industry writes the TAX Laws on such thing?
Many states are changing laws so electric vehicles pay a mileage fee. That's fair, EVs use the roads, bridges etc. and pay no gasoline tax.
baloney, get a real car with gasoline motor
😂😂😂
