Welcome to the Arcimoto Weekend Stakeholder Update for the week ending July 22nd, 2022. This episode kicks off with Christian Olson, one of our many happy Fun Utility Vehicle customers, who shares his perspective on the FUV experience.
Following this, Nico Penacho, stakeholder relations specialist, sits down with Arcimoto's two recently-promoted executives, Chief Supply Officer Chad Boardrow, who gives stakeholders some insight on how Arcimoto is handling the volatile global supply chain to meet goals as Arcimoto ramps production, and Chief Business Support Officer Ray Nichols, who discusses his progression through the venture and excitement to help shape Arcimoto into a global powerhouse.
Finally, Founder Mark Frohnmayer hosts a celebration with the MLM team and local stakeholders to showcase the new version 4 prototype of the Mean Lean Machine and demonstrates the first instance of the beta Torque Vectoring software for the FUV on a consumer vehicle.
The MLM is an E-Bike class vehicle like no other sits on our revolutionary new Platform 2 design. The new prototype contains improved suspension, a near-production chassis, carbon fiber wheels, and new packaging of our Micro Future Drive hardware, which will act as the "brain" for all the new features this revolutionary vehicle will host.

I have to admit that the Lean Mean Machine looks better than my original first opinion of disappoint. As a shareholder I am still concerned about the high cash burn and small amount of sales. I really hope Arcomoto makes it longterm.

@Pompelipom33 2 года назад

First time I saw it, it looked a bit ridiculous and corny and I could not see the potential. With the latest design done, it has in my view, turn into a cool product that I myself might buy one day. With a paint job, I assume it will look even more cool.

@wegetiteasy 2 года назад

Yes, they had to sell more shares. In this video FUV looks more like an advanced college project with a parts warehouse and far away from mass production…… If they had a production line, than they would show that too.

In the UK the FUV is a little bit impractical in my opinion but that lean mean machine might be a great connector product. As in a product people can easily purchase and then if the experience is great than they might overlook some hurdles to purchase the larger FUV

@popeyegordon Год назад

This video has not been updated to announce the end of the vectored steering project and the changing of the steering gear to one with more teeth, and a longer Pitman arm. The hardware change is easier than trying to get a very critical software change officially approved for highway use. All 2023 FUVs will have the upgraded steering and the $750 trunk option is now included standard in the base price. Arcimoto just revealed their huge new project to outsource warranty service and general repairs to EV service shops across the nation. Just two years ago there were not enough qualified shops.

The progress being made is fantastic! I am watching this Bollywood movie and they are talking about rickshaws. I can imagine a city full of MLM's. That Roadster in the video is stunning. The black FUV also looks great. Little by little. I went and did a considerable amount of research and realized what a glaring issue the tough steering was. Many early adopters and test drivers, understandably, understated how difficult the steering is. The line that stuck out the most to me was when Sandy asked where "that blue one was" with the torque vectoring. He said he would be ALL IN if they all steered and accelerated like that. There were multiple meanings. The most important is that he was underwhelmed up to that point but didn't really voice it on camera. His excitement over the improvements should make anyone excited. The Tesla innovations are just stunning. I am, however, equally impressed with the constant improvement of Arcimoto. I suspect much of the innovation is escaping many but I just love it. I have some new ideas that will blow the Arcimoto team's socks off. I am thinking of putting it in an email instead of a comment section. Too long. Very impressed with introductions of team members. With Tesla, we know about Elon and few others. Their cars have to be dismantled to become aware of the many improvements. Arcimoto is mastering transparency. I like both approaches. This is great! I loved the Joe Morgan interview. He reminds me of Charlie Munger. Go team!!

After renting in San Diego, then later test driving a Deliverator, I have placed an order for an FUV. I can expect delivery by Oct/Nov. Product awareness from RU-vid to order Reservation was about three weeks. I am just the kind of person this vehicle was designed for here in SoCal, they will not have a problem generating demand. I like to think I'm doing my part. The people at the rental facility, and the customer experience and sales folks were great. Well done, looking forward to my Bill of Sale and title. I get the idea the next couple of years are critical for Arcimoto, just keep on truckin'. The grind is real, the stakes are real, the goals are worthy.

I own 11,000 shares with an average cost of about $8. I have lost about $60,000 on this stock. I still own it because I love the products. If I were able, I would attend the shareholder meetings in person. I would raise my concerns about finances in person. Make no mistake, I like the products, the vision and I like the people. I would love to have Mark Frohnmayer as my neighbor. He seems to be an absolutely fantastic guy, with a huge vision and equally huge enthusiasm to make his dreams into reality. Don't mistake my disappointment with the lack of transparency on finances as more than it is. I call it like I see it. I think Mark, wonderful and talented human being that he is, may be in over his head at the moment. I hope I am proved wrong, and I truly have high hopes for the company and for everyone working there.

@popeyegordon 2 года назад

Literally hundreds of bike bag designs are already on the market. There are saddlebags specifically designed to straddle a narrow rear arm with no struts to keep them off the wheels and spokes. They have built in stiffeners so the bags can carry a load beside and above the rack. There are many front handlebar/stem/ frame mounted bags too. Those can be adapted by users as soon as this design hits the market, with or without custom designs.

@haraldriegler6000 2 года назад

Been a shareholder for a long time. Here are a few points of feedback: 1) I wish your updates would become more professional, the way (for example) Aptera makes them. Your material still has that garage shop vibe which was charming in the beginning, but reflects poorly on the business these days. 2) There's a substantial market in the EU for the Arcimoto (bigger than the US, I'm guessing), so I wonder when that market could be entered. (I would also love to get one for myself) 3) The MLM only makes sense to me if it has serious carrying capacity. It would be great to get a feel for what you guys have in mind in this regard, if it's supposed to become a serious tool for (sub)urban shopping/errands. Maybe something like a micro flatbed trike? All the best to you guys, I hope the ramp to bigger volumes finally gets achieved.

@nardopolo101 2 года назад

1) Can you be a little more specific? 2) Yes. We have given no specific timelines, but it is in the works. While we are production limited we are going after the very low hanging fruit nearby, but we have global aspirations and will get to you as soon as we reasonably can. 3) It does. Stay tuned, we'll have a lot more to share about storage accessories for the MLM soon.

@haraldriegler6000 2 года назад

@@nardopolo101 1.) I´m invested in both Aptera and Arcimoto because I believe you guys are doing the right thing. Aptera´s messages mostly tend to (but not always) come across with more professional speakers, camera, sound, lighting, video postproduction, etc. This makes it feel more like a professionally organized, growing business that competes with bigger companies. Your jogging runs are charming, and they´re probably genuinely "you", but they feel very Indie to use a games industry term. As an investor, of course I´m hoping I invested not into a cool indie, but instead into a company that will compete with bigger businesses. Another example is that you often "arrive" at a company member, and then ask them what´s going on in their area. As the CEO, it´s fair to assume you absolutely do know what´s going on ;), so in a weird way it feels as if you´re acting as if you don´t know what´s happening in your company. Hope this helps, these are just a few specific examples. 3.) Looking forward to it. Initially, I was not a fan of the utility argument for the MLM, but if the MLM can carry croceries for a couple of days, or even some gear or materials from Home Depot, then I´m in and I understand the use case. Without the storage options, my worry was that the utility over my ebike would not be large enough to justify a price that´ll certainly be much higher than my ebike. And for something beyond that, that´s what I would get an Arcimoto for if I could only get one :). I wish you guys continued success, I´d be a customer already if I just could ;).

@artboymoy 2 года назад

I already have an Ebike and was looking at an FUV for tooling around town, so I'd like to see more options for that coming than more different vehicles like the bike or the Spyder looking bike. Having an FUV with more battery or with fully enclosed and removable doors would be cool to see. News of expanding market and maybe dealer partnerships would be good to hear as well. I see some power sports shops that first rolled out the Cam Am Spyder and Slingshots around me and was wondering if this was a possibliltiy for Arcimoto to try to reach markets as a test bed for expansion.

@popeyegordon 2 года назад

If you 'tool around town' more than 100 miles in a day you need a commercial vehicle or you need to take a bus. The era of driving just for the heck of it is over due to the global climate change emergency. Leave that for the far more sustainable MLM. Even green vehicles have their impacts and we will make no progress if we don't alter our behavior. An EV is not a pass for unlimited cheap thrills driving, it is a marginally effective fire extinguisher on the biggest global emergency humans have ever seen during our short existence.

@artboymoy 2 года назад

@@popeyegordon "tooling around" means me going 20 or 40 miles a day to run whatever I'm going to do, most likely get lunch. I also have an ebike so I use that if it's nice out. I think trying to discourage people from having fun while they make their daily trips, kinda makes you a Debbie downer, from what I've seen from your other comments around the EV YT vids. If it's not for you, fine, but let me decide how I feel I can contribute in my own way. Thanks.

@popeyegordon 2 года назад

@@artboymoy I am only reminding people there is an emergency we can barely comprehend or admit. Many still deny it. Remember your comment was that the 100 mile range of the FUV was not enough for you. That is what I responded to. If you have to drive 20 miles to get lunch, might want to rethink that and plan your grocery shopping better. The FUV is for me and I have had one for 9 months. My average round trip is 5 miles. I will never qualify as a 'Debbie Downer' for calling out the over weight, overpowered Tesla status symbols as NOT a green vehicle. When we are casually stealing more than our fair share of resources from future generations without a second thought, fully aware people will speak up. But not enough of us yet. We need a heat and drought season killing over one million people in developed nations to get the attention of some people.

What’s the point with the mlm cyber tryke , who is the target customer, when already exist plenty of ebikes . The arcimoto I can see it , the sellers in coastal city , ride sharing and delivery.(not an investor just curious)?

@popeyegordon Год назад

As shown in videos, the ride is exceptional. Many people like to have an exercise bike at home, this one charges while stationary so the effort seems less tedious. The range is exceptional too. Most ebikes requre balancing, this one does not. A trike prevents falls when we lose traction or hit something slippery. There is a huge backlog of demand and orders for 3 wheel fat tire trikes that we can't seem to get filled from Asia. I bought the FUV after using an enclosed solar hybrid e-trike for 7 years and I had 10 years of e-bike riding before that.

@pgalloway99 Год назад

Can the MLM be ridden by pedaling when battery is drained? (not stationary pedaling to charge).

@popeyegordon Год назад

There is no direct chain or belt drive. Saying that, it is possible to program in various operation modes. The Class 3 ebike speed limit of 28 mph legally requires pedelec, meaning the motor will only run while you pedal. A 'class 3 mode' of operation that disables the throttle may be a legal requirement. Too soon to know for sure. With a dead battery the speed would at least be very slow but maybe better than walking, and any motor use with a dead battery is more than any other ebike has ever offered. It might be considered a 'get home mode' that portions none of your generated power for charging, just direct to the motors. Might mean only one motor runs in that mode. That ability depends on the actual bench test performance specs that prove Arcimoto's claims that it is going to be the most efficient ebike design ever made. I think they can achieve that for at least some of the specs like regeneration efficiency. One interesting test would be how far you can go after 5 minutes of stationary pedaling, starting with a depleted battery.

@davidpalmer7175 2 года назад

You're going to need custom designed trailers... Think double-decker. From this video you can only fit how many FUVs? 4,5,6? Not enough for mass delivery.

@popeyegordon Год назад

My FUV uses the standard EV charging plug, good for home charging off a 15 or 20 amp breaker. The vehicle's connector also accepts the public charging station standard plug for level two 220 volt charging. The MLM can theoretically be used for months without any grid charging but it would certainly come with some kind of 120 volt e-bike charger for the lithinum battery so you can top off before leaving on a longer trip or on days when you have less than usual physical energy for pedaling. It can accomodate any age or fitness level because of the battery reserve.

I'm guessing I'm going to be the only one who thinks this is a solution looking for a problem. Why 3 wheel drive? Where do you imagine it will be used that single driven rear wouldn't be enough? And if you lose the front wheel drive you don't need the complexity of a generator you could go to the simplicity of a chain. Why carbon fibre wheels? Yes they're light, but spokes are even lighter, easier to maintain, and you don't need the solid discs which means side winds will have less effect. And if you did make a rear wheel chain driven leaning trike with spoked wheels you could have hit the market already at a quarter of the R&D cost and a half of the cost to purchasers.

@popeyegordon 2 года назад

It is weird to want a back slide into older less efficient designs that have already flooded the market. You are entitled to the opinion but the interest is intense. Sounds like you can be happy with the older ebike designs. Many of us hate chains. They are dirty, they stretch or break or come off.

I have several comments, first, to the investment: Elon Musk has said Tesla was within a month or two running out of cash. I am neutral on whether this is a good investment. One should probably not invest unless planning on staying in for 10 years. At that point you can either crow to your friends on all the money you made or complain about the loss. Second, the MLM could turn out to be the most profitable part of the company. Think of Specialized Bicycles, they now have models in the $13,000 plus category. The MLM might generate a wide level of interest with young families feeling a greater sense of safety therefore using the vehicle more often, as well older, more experienced riders. Please note I didn't refer to it as a tricycle (dorky). If you watch the Tour de France you will note escort motorcycles with dual front wheels - for a reason - safety. I have biked 100 mile centuries, I have had accidents, one in which broke an elbow into chunks. I am hoping the MLM is my next new bike.

Not happening. There was never any intention of that. Tilt kits are being sold for motorcycle conversions. The double A-frame suspension is not suitable for tilting and I wound not want one. I prefer my FUV's wide flat tread car tires which grip the road better in all conditions. The 5.5 inch wide flat tread rear tire would also not be suitable for tilting.

@@truthseekers8528 A little 50 pound ebike costs 3K. There are HALF A BILLION motorcycles and scooters and millions of ebikes around the world that all offer no weather protection. The solar hybrid car-bike I have owned for 8 years has a full body shell. I willingly paid $7K for it and those things sell for 12K today because there absolutely is a market for them. Three new versions in the UK this year. We pay top dollar for Arcimoto products because they are unique cutting edge technology. The MLM design promises that it offers record breaking high performace in efficiency with new electronic technology in motors and regeneration. As an owner of the Arcimoto FUV I think they can achieve that in the MLM but it is not proven yet in real world testing side by side with other ebikes. The only real demonstrated superior performance in the videos is showing how incredibly stable the MLM is as it is driven over curbs onto sidewalks and back onto the road repeatedly with the three wheels and suspension smothing out the ride and giving excellent control. Four wheeled ebikes are not legal on US roads unless they are fully licensed and insured like a car.

Thrilled to see the pace of execution of the Arcimoto team as we prepare for significant long term scale. The “focus on one product” refrain is understood, but ultimately is based on a misunderstanding of the massive amount of parallel effort needed to make the venture a win.

@popeyegordon Год назад

Forget all the EU's Draconian laws. This will be designed to conform to US ebike laws first. Arcimoto is promising record breaking efficiency levels for regen and motor performance as well as the most high tech battery. Trust me when I say I know what solar can do for an ebike after driving the Organic Transit ELF car-bike as my only transportation for 7 years - it is an enclosed shell with a 100 watt solar panel roof integrated into the body's roof. I also have an electronics degree and solar installation experience. My ELF, as shown in my avatar image, weighs 170 pounds and it is considered a 2 passenger cargo trike velomobile. Its 17 amp hour 48 volt lithium battery can be completely recharged with one full day of sun on the 100 watt roof panel. That is a sizable panel that needs elaborate support to suspend above the bike without a body shell mounting. Solar panels require no physical work to recharge the battery so the MLM with a solar roof added would have double the recharging capability and increased range. Many ebike companies are willing to downgrade their products to conform to EU laws for private ownership and operation. I say pedelec sucks and I would never want one that demands pedaling to move. What if we have a bad knee day? That's when an ebike is at its greatest potential value.

Cyber Trike sounds like a big waste of money but that's me

@gerhardkrohmer7729 2 года назад

Keep in mind that their production facility for the FUV is fully built out. Thus the only thing lacking is their inability to feed the factory with the parts stream that the factory is designed to consume. Hence the low production rate. The "cyber trike" is Arcimoto innovating their way out of this mess. Since Arcimoto has no control over the supply chain, their answer is to come up with a new product that has a much reduced part count. Their answer is NOT to sit on their hands and wait for the supply chain issues to resolve themselves.

I just saw this posted at the Arcimoto discussion group at Yahoo Finance by a long-time investor who uses the screen name "The Blue Fisherman." He posted --- as someone that has been an equities investor for a long time ( a certain peanut farmer was President when I bought my first stock) I have to say I've seen this scenario play out far too many times. An energetic personality with a good idea but no management experience that refuses to turn operations over to a competent CEO. In the beginning the concept excites the market and the stock rises, then comes profit taking and the inevitable questions about finances and operations. These are stonewalled and followed by a barrage of optimistic PRs, (and later on in time glossy but pointless videos) that never play out well. Until this last youtube 'update' I had hoped for some actual transparency and advisement concerning the financial dangers the company is in and how the they planned on dealing with that going forward. Unfortunately there was none, just more dodging and demurring. Similarly with operations and production. After promising more information Mark failed to deliver. Without some dramatic change in direction I fear the company is in the inevitable downward spiral. I could be wrong. I actually hope I am. But at this point I cannot see a path forward other than some sort of court involved takeover that will not benefit current shareholders.
