- I had a chance to attend a special Arcimoto event and check out some of their new models. Arcimoto isn't just electric, it's re-imagining what the vehicle of the future should look like. So what is their mission and vision, and what sorts of progress have they made? Let's get into on this special Sunday episode of Two Bit da Vinci!

Funny, my wife and I were taking about these yesterday. Weather was ok (UK), but we were on a short 40 mile round trip and this would’ve been a blast. Dream of scooting off to the cold cold surf. We’re invested in Arcimoto, and are putting the pennies aside for when they arrive over here. Great concept. If they survive torrential driving rain, we won’t bother with the doors. It’ll compliment the Model 3.
It rains as much in Eugene, where Arcimoto is headquartered, as it does in the UK.
@@juliahello6673 Excellent! And commiserations simultaneously, in that it bodes well for it handle a lot of water.
Fascinating report. Clearly, it needs an option to keep us dry on rainy days. It's a great 2nd vehicle, but fear wife would make me ride behind her.
The windshield and roof keep most rain off as long as you're moving forward at least 10 MPH. I daily commuted through Portland, Oregon winter in 2019-2020, and I only got wet when stopped at stop lights, or with *VERY* strong sideways blowing wind. Most days, I would get more wet walking 50 feet from parking lot to building than I would driving half an hour to work. (Although mine has the original "half doors" that kept road spray off my legs - they have newer better half doors now, although no full doors yet.)
This was definitly worth the missed pod cast :-) Thanks, great video - and also a great company with a very compelling (set of) product(s)!
I am a new Arcimoto FUV owner waiting for delivery. As a Florida retiree, I am moving from a two wheeled motorcycle to three wheels. I plan lots of exciting things with my FUV like: grocery shopping, the library, or the post office.
What attracted me to the FUV is that I get the relative protection of a frame but still get the open air feel of a motorcycle. Contrast that to todays cars. They have become enclosed boxes with tinted windows. Drivers and passengers are isolated inside their own little shell. They don't even open the windows anymore.
Why would I want to roll with windows down? Music sounds better without wind noise and conversations are more easily held with acoustic glass, sound deadening, and even active noise canceling.
If I want open air, I’d have gotten a convertible.
@@TecnamTwin Maybe it's a community/social thing or not. The FUV is a community vehicle which fits the around town role. What you describe is separation. If you wish to isolate yourself you do not need a car. Modern cars are designed for speedy distance travel on highways that are not communities. The FUV is an apple. The Tesla is an orange.
< 20 K for a "bike" is too much but for that price I'd like something like the Deliverator or expandable bed so I can haul stuff too. PS - I was visiting friends in Mt. Hood Oregon and saw a couple of FUVs on the road. Made me smile.
Agree, for less than $5000 you can buy a TOP of the Line Electric Scooter from CHINA with Top Speed of 100 mph.
@@markplott4820 You can also not buy from a Communist dictatorship that wants to expand its territory and undermine democracy and human rights. People just don't heed the warnings, that's why we have this mess with Russia. Keep financing the dictators and they'll come after you eventually. And if you think the market is amoral, apolitical and the Chinese regime doesn't control everything, then you need to get better information.
@@aristeon5908 - ARCIMOTO is a TERRORIST organization, MARK is with Muslim Brotherhood.
This would look great on the roads around the Bronx, NY. Every morning and evening, a main road is bumper to bumper. The road surface is terribly bumpy.
Try that in the Bronx in December, January or February . It needs a roof, doors and heating so it can be used in the winter, so it can be a practical fun or delivery vehicle all year round. The doors and roof could be removable in the summer, or left on along with Air Conditioning for those rainy summer days. Let’s lake a version that can go 24/7/365 days a year in the North as well as Miami!
The one gripe I have with the otherwise awesome Arcimotos, is the lack of rapid charging for road trips. A 3-wheeler does have more room than a motorcycle for the power electronics and liquid cooling of the battery, so it would be incredible to have the option...
Put a generator in the cargo space, now it's a hybrid.
Or what about a battery pack trailer? With fold out solar panels. Charge up while camping, or whatever.
@@jtjames79 Battery price per kWh have been divided by 10 since 2010, and Tesla should halve the remaining with their 2680 cells, so hybrids make no financial sense anymore. Might as well add more batteries than an engine that will break down.
Adding a trailer will add a lot more drag, so much that the trailer's battery will only compensate for itself, and double the charging time.
Plus, it will all be a lot more expensive than adding fast charging in the first place. 😉
That's why I wish they offered the option.
@@brunoethier896 I don't want solutions, I want to complain!
@@jtjames79 Well, I'm an engineer, I love both. 😅
i love your videos they really showcase allot of amazing new tech and your production value is so high keep it up man 💪
I appreciate that, more than you know! I read all my comments, thank you so much! and def will do!
Thanks for the info Ricky
Thanks for the content Ricky.
Great video! Excellent coverage and commentary.
Great video, loved it.
Like the blue color, Brilliant! Rented a FUV a couple years ago. Such a blast! Hope they stay alive‼️
Imagine if they could make all the different variables interchangeable. That would be a game changer!!!!
Agreed, Luke. That was my thought also, having a removable canopy to convert the roadster to an enclosed vehicle, with removable rear seat that can be converted to an expandable pickup bed would be incredible!
i thought this too, if they do this, it can still be a total sell with the current price, bc you won't need another vehicle
@@zazugee for many people that is true however many people need more passenger and cargo space, along with more range and faster charging to make this a practical vehicle for a single car family
ARCIMOTO is a PRODUCT without a MARKET , it has a DEMAND Problem.
I think it's a great platform for short trips and vacation destinations. I love it.😍😍😍
Wow. I want one. Each one. This is what I’ve been waiting for! Utah!
Slap some higher travel suspension and some atv tires on that thing and it would be a blast off-road.
Arcimotos future is fun.
ARCIMOTO is a 3 Wheel DEATHTRAP.
I was thinking the same thing ! Use this for all my grocery shopping and misc. trips as supplemental vehicle.
I wonder how this would perform in cold, snowy weather. Maybe in the future there will be snow days for adult work?
It handles fine in snow, sleet, hail, and even light ice. It does get cold with no doors, and Arcimoto keeps punting the full doors. Although from speaking with people at this event, it sounds like to get their ATVM loan, they'll *HAVE* to make full doors - so hopefully they're coming soonish! (That said, as long as the temperature was above freezing, the heated seats and handlebar grips were enough.)
ITS A PIG in the SNOW , wrong Tires for SNOW/ICE Traction and no RWD means its going to FISHTAIL.
@@markplott4820 I've found that FWD cars do fine in the snow. It seems to me that having RWD would cause it to fishtail if it loses traction, much like a pickup truck which is lighter in the rear.
@@ElroyMcDuff - thats Conventional RWD ICE car.
Tesla is RWD Electric car w/ Torque vectoring .
the Tesla RWD behaves BETTER than most AWD/4x4 systems.
my Sister Drives a RWD Tesla in Anchorage ,AK.
@@markplott4820 That's probably because the Tesla is heavier in general. Normal FWD ICE cars have better traction than their RWD counterparts because they have more weight over the front wheels. The FUV is FWD and would handle better than if it was RWD (per your comment), that's all I was getting at.
It’s a perfect city utility vehicle for everyday use.
Unfortunately, so many people no longer do what their doctor ordered.
Very cool...
Need more distance on one charge.
I would love to see a design for all weather, say like one would see in Colorado. Then I might be sold on the idea.
Would love to see full size doors on certain variants of these vehicles. It be would great to see side storage or saddle bags with plus rear storage on the Arcimoto Roadster. Well done to Arcimoto.
As I recall, doors are in the works, and you'll be able to have them installed on an already-purchased unit.
GREAT WORK!!!! I love the review!! Happy you posted this!!
I'll be checking COPART to get one and diy the motor and batteries into other projects. The new age or hotrodding has begun. Those motors in a Go Kart is going to be AWESOME!
From what I heard Sandy Munro say, the new steering feature is called "vectored steering" and is all done in software. What it basically does is allow for the front steered wheels to turn at different rates when in a turn. Sandy was at the Arcimoto PIR event and I believe drove FUVs with and without the vectored steering. He said it was the difference between night and day. Think of the Arcimoto vectored steering like a differential. The good news is that in order to "install" vectored steering on a previously sold FUV it is a simple matter of a software upgrade. The bad news in my opinion is that Arcimoto does not do over-the-air software updates so you would have to take your FUV to an Arcimoto facility. I talked to Arcimoto about this issue and they are very concerned that any sort of over-the-air setup would expose them to "hacking issues"
Arcimoto has the vehicles ready for over the air updates, but not the back-end infrastructure yet. I have one of the earliest FUV's off the line, and mine shipped with "not OTA ready" hardware. A couple months later, they swapped the hardware with OTA-capable. They haven't actually done any OTA updates yet, though.
While I'm looking forward to vectored steering, I hope they *don't* push it out as an OTA update with no warning - the vectored steering version drove so differently that if someone just hopped in and ignored an on-screen notice, they could get themselves in trouble.
I picked up some stock when Gali said he had introduced Mark to Sandy Monro. Went up, then went down. Picked up some more when they opened the new factory. I think it’s going to do really well.
It has potential for a play vehicle, or as a low miles second car. Definitely a mild climate car only but at least some parts of the US can make use of it. Still the best use for it, in those areas, is food delivery, couriers, outdoor event and park patrols, and in some cases a fast response vehicle for EMT's perhaps while they wait for an ambulance to arrive through traffic.
Saw you at the Summer Showcase... wish I would've said hi 😅
Wish you had!!
Very COOL! can't wait for the "leaning" element to make its way into the design. CAN YOU ASK THEM ABOUT THAT? i heard they acquired some patents for exactly that. something at half the size, half the cost, and able to lean hard into corners is what im waiting for
arcimoto purchased Tilting Motor Works outright (also an Oregon company) thereby acquiring its patents
Sadly, they have no plans to incorporate Tilting Motor Works tech into their full size FUV. They're using it for their smaller "e-bike" type vehicle coming next.
Wile - their Leaning TECH is GARBAGE , the System does NOT even keep you UPRIGHT at Stoplights.
see - PIAGGIO MP3 Tilting System, its a PARALELOGRAM system , can Lean down to 40 Deg, and it Automatically keeps you upright when you are Stopped , does NOT tip over.
i like those one they have with the wheels that will tilt
Ideas for sun protection? I would love one of these. Since it weighs a good bit that's better security than the theft risk of a regular lightweight bike. I think the rain protection is already built into the configuration and design by now (May 2022) from the reviews I have been seeing.
Please make a fully AC version of this for extreme climates!!
Will they be sold in Canada??
That's so funny my neighbor has a model t Ford that has 3 different rear ends. Coupe, truck bed, and wagon I think
I want one.
then you also may want LIFE INSURANCE as well.
More Arcimoto videos!!!
Share it and get the views up and it’ll help me make more!
There is one element they are missing. A true closed to the weather, HVAC Controlled Interior! This vehicle would be useless in a rain storm, in cold and inclement weather of the northern portion of the USA. Removable and on the vehicle T-Tops is all so would need to give me enough summer fun, but ready to quickly be reinstalled when the thunderstorms appear on radar.
Even with Torque Vectoring, power steering is still needed to overcome the friction of the tires turning in the direction being steered at parking lot speeds! This thing has to be heavy, due to the battery, therefore there will be a lot of pressure on the front tires to overcome by the steering gear.
If it's going to used as a city/suburban run around vehicle, it would need to be enclosed. Saw enclosing as an option near the end. I hope the enclosure pieces are removable and easy to reinstall.

@@zinaj9437 needs heat and A/C too, to keep defogger/defrost working on tiny cabin’s windshield! In a smaller space, your breath can easily fog up a windshield more quickly than in a larger cabin space. That means Archimoto need a little additional battery to support the weight and power the additional equipment, including a windshield wiper and washer.
@Very Stable Genius - If the goal is to meet the "soccer mom" needs, it's got to have some basic things added to get them to even consider it. Safety/security of an enclosed vehicle is a basic thing. If this is to be the rechargeable runaround vehicle, it has to perform some basic tasks
Cool trike. It's a 3 wheeler or a bike. Cars and SUV's have steering wheels, bikes have handlebars.
I can see this being useful as a second rig. The van body or truck body would be very useful for some people on say a small farm if the load capacity is there.
you are BETTER off with a TUK TUK RV/Van , much more SAFER , and they are Electric too.
@@markplott4820 better yet a Cushman Truckster... they are American made.
Ricky, question the “this can be parked anywhere”. When compared to an ebike, parking much larger footprint
Still better than a car.
In fact there's probably more places you can park it than a bike e or otherwise. You have to park an e-bike somewhere you can chain it up. Nobody's going to carry away an Arkamoto.
Small motorcycles have the best parking options. Big enough to be a pain to steal, small enough to fit among the bikes on the bike rack.
True - but you can't drive an ebike on the freeway.
@@AnonymousFreakYT you could, but laws make it so they're max speed is 25 mph
If they are small enough to have TWO park in a single car park? City counsels will fall over themselves to get them in...
Very very nice video. I have been on the fence for a few weeks. I already have two different vehicles and to have a third vehicle would not work yet I want to have it. What is your thoughts about it.
Nice do they need any distributors in Canada preferably Vancouver
It will literally by delivered by DHL worldwive
Yeah, and Dean Kamen thought the Segway was going to lead to redesigned cities too. Never happened. With Arcimoto who knows. The other "elephant in the room" is safety. Three wheel vehicles are classed as motorcycles for crashworthiness. Essentially no crashworthiness.
AGREE, the Arcimoto is a DEATHTRAP on 3 Wheels.
exactly. "flex in the chassis" Sounds under-engineered to me. Plus the looks and dog slow. YIKES! Not to mention other than being narrow they aren't THAT small. Oh and have fun in inclement weather. I'll stick to a real motorcycle or car.
I think it carries the disadvantages of both motorcycles and cars. It is big enough to demand a full parking spot/ lane and offers the same protection against weather/collisions as a bike.
Price is higher than small cars, but on the plus side I see it as a low resources consumption.
Great report! I've got 1000 shares of FUV and am trying to work out how to get one shipped and legal to my home in Thailand. I'll be in Key West in a few weeks and will rent one there.
wow that's amazing Thailand is high on my list for future vacations! if you're ever in San Diego you need to look us up!
@@TwoBitDaVinci I'll be coming through San Diego in mid-October. I'll try to make contact!
Yet another amazing review from you! Do you see FUVs dominating cities?
NOPE. not when you can buy a 100 mph Electric Scooter for $5000.
I wish you had discussed the Arcimoto expansion that is currently underway. The big question is when will they achieve scaled production from the new facility?
Mark said full production at the end of next year. Hope they can do it.
We’ll post the whole interview where he talks about all of it
Does seem like a no-brainer as a delivery vehicle. Super cheap to operate.
If I were them I would start working with an agency in Japan straight away, to get going on sorting out regulatory stuff. Ship a few of them over there and display them in a little space in Shibuya, Roppongi, or Harajuku, in Tokyo.
Ummm, you can Already buy LIGHT Electric Utility vehicles from COMMERICAL companies .
Collages use them for Security, and Facility Maintanance, they are FULLY ENCLOSED and Cheaper than ARCIMOTO.
Awesome fun versatile eco-car, hope they can bring price down in the near future. Same price as Polaris Slingshot S 178hp right now. We can dream for the electric version Slingshot e-S, how about that Polaris ?
If you want an Electric CROTCH Rocket see PAL-V and CARVER.
Future is going to be awesome, not sure if this form factor is a win though: the footprint is still pretty high, and only if sharing is implemented would be a win [traffic problems] in an urbanized area. But then, that can be said about the already known: car.
Actually, what they are working towards in the future is creating an app where you can summon one to you, use it, and then it will drive away.
@@kevynirizarry3353 sounds great, but still the use-case for this compared to cars.. i'm doubting if this is better: if both can be shared? And, if everybody is used to shared private use, the need for summon is gone: would the city not full of these Arcimoto's/cars?
I wonder if it would not be worth to slap some solar panels on top of the delivery version...
would NOT be worth it, you NEED 3x the Surface Area covered in SOLAR to be Viable.
I know , my Sister was on one one of the SOLAR Racing Teams in the 1990's .
even the SONOS Electric car is completely covered in SOLAR and it only manages 15 miles per day.
SOLAR on an Arcimoto is EXTREMELY Stupid.
@@markplott4820 Thanks for staying civil... I did not mean to use the solar solely for powering movement. Think more about keeping the cargo warm (pizza) or cold (groceries delivery) without tapping main power source... Congrats to your sister, btw.
@@rklauco - Actually , the TESLA HVAC and Heat Pump are Really Efficient , all you really need to do is DUMP all the waste heat from the BMS into the CARGO compartment.
How many miles on one charge
I would've liked to see this event during snowfall. Arcimotos in this format are convertible / motorcycle replacements, not car replacements.
They are designed to move people with little stuff they are working on a version with sealed passenger compartment. Its meant to solve the daily commuter in urban, suburban where most trips are about taking 1 person to their job to work.
When imported to sell in Cambodia?
Lets see some crash tests.
D E A D .
If the front wheels stick out so far, what's the point of having only one wheel in the back? Unless you're doing some kind of licence bypass, like they did in UK with the old 3 wheeled cars? Now if you had a narrow vehicle that can tilt while cornering and staying warm/dry at the same time you got something.
It's another product that relies upon the "If you build it, they will come" mythos. But what is their niche/target market? Back and forth to the store? Zipping around the city? Replace a car for a short commutes? Reduce parking requirements? "Save the environment"?
What about just getting a top of the line E-bike for less than 1/3 the cost?
they have NONE , Arcimoto is a PRODUCT without a MARKET.
You have amphibious type?
I have a lot of FUV stock but I can't really see how they can sell many at the price. I think these need to get well below $10k. The stock moves very close to TESLA stock and I like that the Short interest is massive.
ARCIMOTO is a PRODUCT without ANY MARKET.
Inflation price for each Arcimoto jumped from $12k to 20K.
No, they've been following Tesla's model - released the high-end expensive model first, then as they ramp up production, they'll be able to decrease the price. The original "Evergreen Edition" were over $21,000. They now have them starting at $17,900. They are still targeting $12,000 as the entry-level version once high-volume production starts. (It took Tesla *HOW* long to actually come out with the $35,000 Model 3? That they never even sold in quantity, actively discouraging people from buying it.)
It’s a reverse -tiktok- (
3:14- Meanwhile, the sales of ridiculously large ICE vehicles continues to grow here in NA. As an automotive engineer I think the biggest challenge facing us today isn't so much the vehicle, it's changing how people think about vehicles. We sell cars as a lifestyle and an extension of their personality. But they aren't, they are a tool for transporting people and goods from A to B. I'm optimistic that projects like this that offer both a recreational and a utilitarian purpose to EV's will be step towards convincing people they really don't need 2 tons and 150 cubic feet of cargo space to get to work.
This company recently acquired Tilting Motor Works. These things will soon lean when they turn.
its Bullshit technology, the Current TILTING system cant lean to 40 Deg and cant keep you UPRIGHT when Stopped at a LIGHT.
the PIAGGIO MP3 Paralelogram System is better , its HYDROLOIC and can keep you UPRIGHT even when Stopped at a LIGHT.
Crash that without a helmet on is gonna hurt
Thanks, Dad
DRAIN BRAMMAGE.
I would buy one if they got the cost down to around $12k
Jeff that's the price I was throwing around with them as well... and i think with a 20% margin and 12k cost they could clean up big time
FAB! go thunder birds :D he would under stand the meaning of this groovtastic even !
What about foul weather options, mainly heat , and air conditioning. Here in the northeast this would not be daily driver.
It has heated seats and handlebar grips available, which are sufficient even right at freezing. I just wear a thin jacket and gloves when riding mine in the Winter (Pacific Northwest, not as harsh as Northeast,) but anyone who rides a motorcycle in all weather will find the Arcimoto luxurious in comparison. It has a small window defroster that I imagine would be plenty powerful enough to heat the whole cabin once they have full enclosure.
I drove mine about an hour each way to the "FUV & Friends" event, in the blazing heat and sun. Yeah, being exposed like that was.... Not as fun. I always wear a baseball cap when riding in the sun due to the clear roof, but the ride home was a bit brutal, I got sunburned on my arms and neck thanks to the sun coming in from the side. They are planning on full doors, which if they have UV/IR coatings on the windows should be good. I know one FUV owner who put a coating on his roof, and even made panels out of cardboard to completely block the sun from above.
Range, charging?
I have noticed your channel symbol resides under the time length. Causing me to not recognize your videos as yours. I have to check the channel title to realize you made this one.
I’d like to see more about Arcimotos financials. I wish them well but in mobility market which is sure to include bmw and apple, and everyone else they’re sure to be outgunned by sophisticated engineering and manufacturing prowess. In this admittedly brief insight I didn’t see any of that.
If they would only put a Elio motors body on it I'd buy one today
CARVER Electric.
@@markplott4820 yes thx I've seen those but not the same.
TwoBitdaVinci - the ARCIMOTO is a PRODUCT without a MARKET .
the DELIVERATOR has LIMITED cargo area , there are ALREADY Small Single passanger Electric Vehicles that has 3x the CARGO area of the Arcimoto and is FULLY ENCLOSED for the DRIVER and CARGO .
and for the ARCIMOTO Pickup , there are ALREADY Electric Vehicles used by UC CAL Berkeley that PERFORM BETTER than the ARCIMOTO Pickup and it can carry MORE cargo .
JAPAN has been using ELECTRIC Scooters with a DELIVERY Stablizer with a COUNTERWEIGHT for Delivering HOT FOOD like Ramen & Soba without Spilling the Contents.
Do you need a motorcycle license or just a regular DL?
Check with your State motor vehicles laws, some States classify a 3 Wheeler as a other Motorcycle.
Curious, have they been crash tested, do they have air bags? Looks like the roadsteer is seatbelt free, claim it falls under a motorcycle rule guide i guess.
NOPE, not Crash worthy at all , its a 3 Wheeler , it does NOT even REQUIRE Air Bags as STANDARD.
Might work in some environments, but doubt it will do well in cold weather states where a heater is needed to stay warm. I don’t consider this a replacement for a car. It is in the category of a motor bike. Just another “toy” to have fun with.
Once you add 20 or 30 years to your age, your body appreciates comfort of ride. So how does it take bump and potholes? 100 miles of range for a road bike??
Why is this so wide??? Who is this for? Qooder or i-road types seem more useful..
17.500 Dollars!
NOW, more like $20k, no thanks.
The only way these become actually competitive is if they are significantly cheaper then a car. For 15k, I would simply get a used car and have something more capable, and since it's used it still good for the environment since I would be keeping it out of scrap yard.
They're more like an electric CanAm Spyder.
I want to be excited for this but I can’t, safety is not something I see in this product.
How transport will be. Do they plan on making a right hand drive option
Just push on the right handlebar.
No!!! Price!
Ahem. Renault Twizy, anyone?
!
3 wheel vehicles are inherently dangerous.
AGREE.
We all know that it won't make more room for plants in the city. Best case scenario is that parking spaces would be made smaller to accommodate more people in the stores. Capitalism will win that battle. This would be great for emmisions
JAPAN solved this with AUTOMATED parking Towers .
and Bicycles can use AUTOMATED underground Parking.
If they made a gas model, they could really sell these. Last year when everyone stayed home for covid, it was proven that the carbons were not reduced so emissions are not an issue....
Dave I can’t tell if you’re joking. Every city around the world reported the best air quality it’s seen in decades when people were driving their gas guzzlers.
@@TwoBitDaVinci did you mean "were NOT driving their gas guzzlers"?
@@TwoBitDaVinci Yes the best quality no question about that. It was thought that the carbons were reduced but that turned out to be false. Check the actual data from inverse that is the leader in climate change data.....great video BTW!
20k... TUK TUK'S enter the chat
If it's over £5K it's too much.
Can i work to your company?
They look great……..but what happens if it rains or snows?🤨
There is no doors or side protection.
Don’t get me started about vulnerability to robbers and other “not so nice people”.
I live in West Texas. We have short but often hard rains.
Add doors and I would be interested.
Edit: I have ridden motorcycles, had a Yamaha XT 250 Enduro.
Worked that little bike HARD. Had full body protection, full face helmet, and frog togs (super waterproof).
But from the first frost till nights where minimum 40 degrees……I drove my car in the late fall and winter.
I slipped (almost) on ice one time on my motorcycle……I got lucky and regained control.
It was a freak wet and cold spot in the spring.
Yea. Not doing that again!
Please use and instruct others in proper microphone technique in locations with ambient noise. The hand microphone should be held straight up just under the chin so you speak across it. The closer the microphone is to the speaker’s mouth the better the signal-to-noise ratio. Don’t make the mistake of holding it in front of the mouth that looks bad and is susceptible to breath-popping and plosives. The higher the ambient noise level the narrower the pattern of the microphone should be used. “Shotgun“ microphones come in various lengths. The longer the mike, the narrower the pattern and its ability to reject unwanted sound. For good ID and to prevent unauthorized use of your recordings, make a couple of Two Bit da Vinci hand microphone clip-on logos to attach to “mic flags”. Maybe request a fan proficient in 3D printing to make them from your design. “Bad sound makes good video look bad.”
Thanks Bruce!! We appreciate the tips! I’ll make sure that people hold the microphone the right way!
It looks like it would be perfect for a plumber to get to jobs.
how will a Plumber carry MILES of PEX piping for water ?
@@markplott4820 sound like I know squat about plumbing
20k is too much for a grocery getter
TwoBitdaVinci - another Problem with ARCIMOTO is the fact the Vehicle is only 70+ mph top Speed , barely useable on the Freeways & Highways, as other Drivers are going to HONK at you for Accelerating TOO SLOW taking the RAMPS , finding a Lane and the keeping up with Traffic in the Lane . even the Traffic in the SLOW lane are going to have a PROBLEM with you in it. and having such a SLOW Vehicle may be a LIABILITY on ARCIMOTO and may get you in Trouble with the Highway Patrol for IMPEDING Traffic.
- Do you need a driver license to used this or not my friend ?
drivers license yes.
@@TwoBitDaVinci 0 I mean this my friend - What kind of so called bike "CAR" that I don't need a Driver License 4 My Friends ?
It's different from a Can Am Spyder, how? It's not a car replacement, it's a motorcycle alternative. This will never replace cars like the CEO envisions. It's fine for sunny California but the south where it rains every afternoon in the summer and places where it snows, it'll never be a full replacement for a car. The first thing that came to mind is that it's a CanAm Spyder with a rollbar and the Spyder has been around for what, 15 years? That's really all you have here. I'll stick to my HD Wide Glide and keep my Nissan Frontier for bad weather, thanks.
It won't replace a car for every use, however many families have multiple vehicles including cars used primarily for commuting with driver only, or with one passenger and the FUV could replace the car for many people
