Nimbus One Prototype: InsideEVS In-Depth Review 

I imagine Europe is standing in line for these. Imagine those tight streets and alleyways in Naples or Sicily all over. Fits senior's needs 100%

“Take your kids to school or dog to the park….” Was there a second seat I was missing or would you strap your kid/dog to the roof?

just pre ordered today.... luv the rear seat/storage, and portable batteries.... that's what sold me.

Corrective note: A "Neighborhood Electric Vehicle" (NEV) is limited to 25mph and sticks to a neighborhood. The Nimbus is 50mph in this model, more later, which is a large difference in capability and places you might go in it.

I like this. It makes a lot of sense. Just driving from point A to point B and doing errands. 👍👌

I got one ordered I just hope they make production 2023!

I can't wait to get one. Let's hope this becomes a reality... Really cool little practical car.

This has a very similar suspension-lean set up to the Carver EV, except that has the twin-wheel axle at the back. Very similar drivetrain specs, too - 50mph top speed and about 80 mile range. I think the removable batteries on the Nimbus One are genius... negates the need for off-street parking etc. 👍

I’m starting to think Arcimoto is never going to sell the FUV in my state, so I’m going to keep my eye on this.

For some reason I find myself wanting to wait for the 2000 model.

You spent too much time with the camera on your face but overall a good test. Hopefully the Nimbus can be charged with a Tesla Wall Charger and an adaptor rather than lugging around batteries separately, though that's a good option for those without L2 chargers at home. Would have loved to see more of a tour of a vehicle along with any back seat/cargo configuration.

Any follow-up to this? I am one of the pre-order people and it still says quarter three delivery which is only 6 months from now and there's been no update for almost a year..

Hope it comes to the UK. Looks ideal for renters living in urban and suburban areas, I can imagine the multimodal opportunities this opens up. Additionally, at this price point this would make a killing with a salary sacrifice scheme.

In the video, it mentioned the Nimbus had climate control monitoring. Does this mean it offers in cabin heating and air conditioning as standard features?

Great vehicle! We need this in germany!!! Does it have air condition?

What is the maximum speed of the Nimbus in miles per hour and kilometers per hour? The range on full battery charge of approximately 90 miles was mentioned in the video, but not its maximum speed.

I'm not sure I like this over the electramechanica solo, although I'm not sure if either are going to be available to drive in Australia, so for now I just want something to be available for the daily commute.

I can't have one since i'm in indonesia. But this vehicle is a perfect city driver. Period.

I wonder if the there's any control of how the batteries discharge?? That is, do they discharge evenly so I'd have to carry in all 4 in order to recharge? ..or perhaps it discharges in pairs??

Do you have to drive with the wiper blocking your view?

If only windshield wiper could be moved a little further to the edge of the windshield. It is placed almost right in the middle of the windshield distracting the driver.

Sell this tech to Ola Electric and bring it to India. With manufacturing in India, it can be sold under 5000 usd or (INR 450000) and it will sell like hot cakes here.... there is a massive market of commuters that need a safer option than motorcycles.

2:30 What's that clicking/chattering noise while driving? I assume the tilting system is unobtrusive.

I'm guessing they did nto get enough preorders? so hard to sell new concept cars!

I like Nimbus? It would be good for local driving, as long as you can have two seater. But the kicker would be is the range per charge. The down side if you live the northern states the cold will diminish your Mileage per charge. But love the concept

Does this company still exists??? I can't find any recent news, one would expect some news (on their website) actually launching it on the market but ...nothing! If anybody knows, please share!

I really love this vehicle !! .. just need to see how it does on wet pavement and then I'll be ALL IN if it handles it reasonably well. Maybe it would switch to a low friction mode and not lean as much?? (in combo with a warning alarm of course) .. I would have no issues to take corners slower in wet weather.

Can you open the side windows?

I have a full confidence this will be so successful. Why. Removable charging batteries. Level 2 is in one hour for full charge. Rental is even more perfect. If the rental is $100 and the price is around $6000, I guess it will be so popular in a near future worldwide. Guessing only. Info only.

I hope that wiper can be moved over more to the side.

Does it have? 1. AC or Heating 2. Backup Camera 3. Regen Brake 4. One pedaling 5. EV J1772 Charging Port

No door windows, not good in rainy Ireland. The drive also appeared very bumpy, does it have any suspension?. If they fixed both these issues it would be great.

The guys at the steel mill make fun of my Tesla, so I ordered one of these.

I have an electric trike which I use a lot during the winter here in Minnesota. How would this handle in snow and ice compared to another car? I need to put studded tires on my two front tires on the trike for steering purposes because of the propensity of ice on the roads. Studded tires are illegal on cars and I doubt you could find a set for the Nimbus.

I missed if he stated the estimated price? Anyone?

We didn’t hear a lot of specs. Turning radius appears wide in the video. Having visited Europe this year and its typical extremely narrow streets snd tight corners, the One would probably sell like hotcakes there if it can corner. However, even scooters can carry two people.

HOW MANY WATTS (MOTOR)? VOLTS OF THE BATTERY?

BYD is coming to America a Chinese EV company. They have a car with better range and speed with the same price tag and will have inter national service.

Max load?

I e-mailed them to see if they ship to Maryland, or if they are renting any here. NO response ! Tried twice! NO response. Not enough information for me to send $100 to reserve one . Scammers??????

I have heard that they closed their doors and sold everything months ago...

Sounds noisy, curious about decibel levels inside. Squeaks and rattles are distracting, LOL

I heard on another RU-vid channel that Nimbus was shutting down operations. Can you confirm this? If so, I'm disappointed. I thought the Nimbus One was fascinating and it was on my list of possible purchases in the future.

Can you address the elephant in the room? There's clearly something wrong with the drivetrain on this particular vehicle: we can hear something knocking on acceleration (I don't believe that it's an artificial sound generator as with many EVs). We don't hear this in other driving tests.

Is that two seat

Can I make the front LED’s say “Trump Lost” 🤔

What did you say take your kids is it a two seater

Why are these vids about the Nimbus still playing? Didn’t they go bankrupt?

They have a 75mph and a 50mph.

Pretending to be dead is a dirty trick. Its only a game, but in real life all wounded soldiers would be shot because some guy pretended to be dead and shot enemy soldiers.

How do you take kids to school in such a small vehicle?

I'm concerned about EMF- It would be good to know if this car is safe

Well, obviously, no one is going to lug a couple heavy batteries to their office when they go to work, so, does it have a charging port ? And.... keeping these batteries inside home is a "no-no" for me... I already worry too much with phones and tablets... perhaps in another 20 years, the batteries will really get safer with new technoligy.... but then, I'll be dead hahahah

Also living in apartments

That storage net reflects in the windscreen. It you place anything light there you will impede your forward vision = dangerous. Needs to be addressed.

This thing is totally inappropriate for going to the grocery store, taking kids to school and taking dogs to the park. There simply is not enough room.

Is there a Fuel consumption version? because not all countries are ready for electric vehicle

Maybe don't call this "in depth review" if you 1) just stepped into it 2) didn't show the interiors at all like when you say drive kids/dog no video of the extra seat, any storage space for groceries not shown. 3) never speaking beyond the talking points given by the manufacturer. Just call it what it is: An Ad for the product. If you do want to call it something at all, just call it a first impression and be done with it. What a waste of time.

Doesn’t look very stable. Arcimoto looks more substantial.

It's an hybrid between the arcimoto and a Renault twizzy

Funny that you mention taking the kids to school or the dog to the park, because I'm wondering where the heck will they go? On top?

Unless your kid is a doll you're not taking them anywhere in this. It's a cool vehicle though

How many of their potential customers want to lug one to four 25 pound batteries back and forth to their house or apartment each day to charge them? What if you don’t live on the first floor of your dwelling and there is no elevator. Is this EV just for fit people that have no problem carrying 25 pound batteries including up and down stairs each day to charge them?

This looks to be a drone with wheels, all wheel drive by wire. In the patent it has electric motors steering actuators tilt actuators seemingly all computer controlled with sophistocated IMU sensors. Who is going to service all this stuff plan. Piaggio, Peugot, Yamaha big names international companies are selling IC class versions which are far from tree hugger designs. Simpler is better you are going into the teeth of legacy machines and you can be mauled. I hope you have a well know Chinese company helping your manufacture and initial product offering. Good luck! Simpler higher performance is what you need to compete with the established brands. Look at their patents what do you think you are smarter and more powerful. Active suspension is well known to GM and the rest of the West. America is a big country so space is not that big an issue. Americans like muscle in the main. Life is stifling enough. Sell in China first but hey have tilters that sell for $2100 US. They can stick their foot out too when stopping. Did you prototype in the US and now build in China. You will make a lot of friends. Say what you do do what you say!

"we've seen this all before," "it's nothing new".... you well express your indifference to the topic at hand and your fatigue from talking about it... "not an absolutely horrible driving experience"... you didn't even show the back seat... maybe time to find something to talk about that you are genuinely interested in...?

Cancelled my pre-order two weeks ago. No reaction. Pre-order page is still online - this smells fraudulent.

Take the kids to school??? Hmm... 🤔

I don’t see anyone surviving a crash in that thing.

This is appealing to exactly nobody. It might (or might not) be the first to lean or be a 3wheeler, but it is nowhere near the first useless "city EV" introduced. They are too much money for what they are. You couldn't even take this to the grocery store! You could not fit a monthly grocery shopping (for 1 or 2 people, let alone a family) into this thing if you tried. You get to pay 10 grand for it and have to have full coverage insurance on it. In the end, you can only drive it 50-60 miles (they are lying about the range, just like every other small EV has done) They claim you can rent it for 200/month, but that doesn't include the full coverage insurance you will have to pay. Plus you are going to a beta tester. To top it all off, I gotta carry in 4 large battery packs to charge in the house? Plus, since it is such a small battery, it will need to be charged quite frequently, like every day or every other day. Sell it for under 4 grand while keeping all the other specs and you may have a winner. But you can't sell it that low.

This is a JOKE! Unless it has a range of 350 miles and a top speed over 100 miles-per-hour it will NEVER replace the motorcycle! Probably can't even use the Tesla Supercharger network.

Looks like a unicycle for drunk people
