If They Build The Nimbus One For Under $10k, It Could Be A Game Changer! 

I got a reservation for a standard One. I live in a rural farming community. Got 2 major cities on either side of me. One is 16miles and the other is 22miles. Both are on standard two lanes, 45-55mph. However, with the large farming equipment on the roads here people are used to seeing vehicles going a little slower. I ride motorcycles 8 months a year and this will be perfect to use the rest of the year without being wet and cold! 🤞👍

I like it and placed my order for the One S today. The only thing is that I really want the One S in white, though we're supposed to be able to configure our vehicles a few months before delivery which for the One S is Q124. As a 20-year motorcyclist and Tesla fan, this is the perfect alternate vehicle when the shared Tesla is out of reach or when I only need to take a jaunt around town. I also don't mind that the One S has fixed batteries for the better top speed, longer range, and home charging with a Tesla Wall Connector and J1772 adapter. Once Nimbus comes to SoCal with some kind of kiosk or brick and mortar reservation location, I'll see if I can secure a test-drive. San Diego is a hotspot already for Arcimoto and SOLO, so it's a good place for them to show the Nimbus.

Arcimoto has a three year production lead on Nimbus. With around 475 FUV's in the wild already providing real data and feedback in real world traffic. Financing is available and FUV sales are gaining traction. The full doors, climate control, and price point, make the Nimbus S competitive but I remember the door breaking on the prototype at Fully Charged Live, and general lack of a finished product. There is plenty of room for right sized mobility in the EV market so good luck to Nimbus.

Reserved one. Perfect for my semi sure urban use case of comuting to work and run ing errands

At first sight it looks like a great idea: good range; sensible speed; weatherproof; convenient access; unfussy seating; not swamped with 'bloat-ware tech', self-drive nonsense and trendy gizmos; apparently safer than a bike; built on a simple welded steel chassis with easily-replaced plastic bodywork; a logical, familiar steering-wheel setup; and a tandem seating arrangement - which is the optimum for reducing drag. So... if its chassis articulation mechanism is rugged and reliable, and the battery management and electrical system is sufficiently refined, I can see it putting a fair few rival 'autocycle' noses out of joint. It's encouraging that it doesn't make outrageous promises. It's not pretending to be anything other than a 2-bod transport pod. It's not a tow-truck, a sports car, or a luxurious, fully-loaded Bentley rival; it won't rock-crawl up a mountain; it won't save the planet by running solely on magic beans and vegan dreams, and it's not an ego-buffing status symbol or stupid fashion accessory. Apparently. I admit that I'm a sceptical, grumpy cynic who thinks that if something looks too good to be true, then it probably is; but I try to keep an open mind. The name 'Nimbus' implies that the vehicle's designers might have their heads in the clouds, but I'm happy to accept facts, empirical evidence and proof. Show me the skidmarks. The idea certainly looks attractive (but then, so do a lot of things to anyone sufficiently desperate to believe). 🤔 Actually building enough of the things within budget is the greatest challenge, as numerous optimistic startups have discovered to their (and their investors') cost. Even if prices don't creep up (and let's be honest - they usually do), it's still too expensive for a pleb like me, so I'll stick with my bicycle for now. It cost me £130, seventeen years ago; I ride 70 miles a week in lousy UK weather, on rough, hilly Yorkshire roads, dodging scary, bike-hating traffic [remember that Jeremy Clarkson is a Yorkshireman...🤭], but it's still going strong after more than 50,000 miles. It's had the occasional new tyre, but pretty much looks after itself. That's my idea of cheap, practical transport. The Nimbus looks like a sensible vehicle, though.

Got my reservation in! Was looking at the Arcimoto but they are not available in Michigan, require a motorcycle endorsement in Michigan (no steering wheel), do not totally enclose, and yes, price. This is perfect for my situation. Small "weekend" property in the Thumb of Michigan, no freeways, most travel is 20 miles or less to beaches, shopping, events. I have a solar generator so charging cost for me will be zero. could even drive it to my weekday house (100 miles with a charging station nicely located half way in Marlette.) And it is a local Michigan business. Just hope this does not become vaporware...

This is the answer to my transportation needs - if it were only available in the EU for a reasonable price!

I really want one

Would prefere to see more of Nimbus than the presenter.

I have a reservation on the One S. This is my favorite EV so far.

Only thing I don't like about the s model is the non swappable battery pack. I want to take a look at it and see if its bolted down or if it is locked down under the floor. The swappable packs are a great feature and means you could buy new packs down the line if your batteries lose charge and range. It looks like they are using larger cells for more range but I still want the swappable packs. But that extra 25mph will be had to pass up

I would love to have one of these

Make it available for South Africans🙏

that looks great, sad that only US shipping planned for now. On the other hand transport to Europe plus taxes will not make the price that attracitve as it's for US market..

its a sporty cabin mobility scooter. A way to get people to finally, maybe, per chance look at motorcycles and scooters as a viable form of travel instead of gas guzzling SUVs and trucks.

This is the third 3-wheeler that I have put a deposit on. I am concerned that they report that they will start shipping in Q3 2023 but there has not been any new videos in months.

It’s definitely a fane changer for people who can’t afford a Tesla or other electric cars.

This will make a lot of cars obsolete!

I used to commute to work on a motorcycle but weather and safety made that problematic, so I eventually got a car. Personally, I would LOVE to get a Nimbus. If they come to market without much issue, I might trade my old truck (17mpg to 24mpg ugh) for a new Nimbus. If I ever need to move or pull something i'll just rent a uhaul with the money saved.

I will buy it when they put a real car seat in front for the driver. It MUST tilt forward to allow easier egress in and out of the back seat. The current seat does not allow easy access to the back as it does not tilt forward. In addition, it has very little padding like a real car seat and quite frankly it looks like you are sitting on a toilet. By the way it qualifies as an Autocycle, as it is fully enclosed, has a steering wheel, seatbelts, airbag, brake and power pedals and a seat you sit on instead of straddling like a motorcycle. Most states require the common class C driver's license that is typical for a car and not a motorcycle endorsement or license. However, these requirements vary for state to state, so before you buy it, check with your DMV first.

Sounds like a winner.Ihope you guys sell millions of them. Being a 92-year old, my grandkids will be your prospective customers, not me. Bob Campbell

Just bring back the rickshaw.

I am considering purchasing the 1S as I’d like to be able to keep up with traffic on highways (I hope the Nimbus co test drives it on an interstate to see if it’ll work safely on one) I’ll definitely get the optional air conditioner, because I live in South Florida, humidity capital of the world! The other option I’d like to get is user replaceable batteries on the 1S. I’m glad to have seen this video and see not all features are on both models. I’m planning to buy a RV toy hauler so I’d use the trike to get around town when I park my rig and camp somewhere for a while. I like the concept, but I think it could be slightly longer and wider for more cabin space.

Will it be available in Canada ?

Sound like the same story as the Elio car. I gave them 1000 dollars to reserve my elio car never delivered. Lost my 1000 dollars. Nimbus good concept. But unfortunately it will be the same story as Elio car.

I like the idea of it but I don't like the look of it, it's not a good looking thing, they could have done better on the looks and the price is a bit high, remove some of the junk such as the air bag who needs an air bag, you get into a crash with that thing and an air bag won't do much I suspect. But hey I like the idea, I just don't like the price tag, and by removing all that junk tech the price could come down.

there are so many Chinese products like this. at a very low price. it's not surprising.

But it’s even built yet. Crowdfunding sucks

Hello, I am Mexico, I would like to buy one, where should I send my 100 usd

You need the nimbus one s which is 14k$ to go 75 mph

Can I get it in Canada?

is this street legal?

What about the CT-1 City Transformer?

Great vehicle but the price will surely be faaaar higher!

Nothing has happened for a year; looks like another failure to launch. Ought to have been ten thousand of them under customers' butts by now. Too bad. Would've been a great little vehicle.

i think they folded unfortunately.

The specs are laughable compared to a standard motorcycle.

I don't know about going full speed in the S model, that might get a little scary in that thing. LOL

Anything over 3 to 5k $ doomed to go under look what happens to arcimoto , 👎🏼

Excellent
