I'm on the west side of ABQ, hola. This would be a great City commuter here in albuquerque. I don't think though I would take this on I-40 or I-25 just because people suck. Unless you're driving a lime green arkamoto and have complete visibility and people can see you, a lot of people don't even see me in the hybrid SUV that I drive.

@@MrCarnage69 No. The Arcimoto is highly visible because if its overhead roof. The driver sits up high enough to see over the tops of cars. Plus, you are protected inside a proven formula one racing cockpit design with six point harness and certified roll cage. These offer safety at a level that equals any small car... with no need for a helmet or air bags.

You have no clue what you are talking about. First of all, you referred to golf carts as 'go carts' which are entirely different things. Your grandma does not want a 77hp 80 mph autocycle. It would scare the hell out of her and she does not have $20K for one. Retirement villages have a 10 mph speed limit. The Arcimoto has a double racing harness with seat belt alarms. You have to strap yourself in before it will move. It is much harder to get into than a golf cart.

Why is this better for me to buy vs a bike?
@popeyegordon
@popeyegordon Год назад
It is not better if you can make do with a bike. I had only a fancy ebike for the last 7 years. It is the enclosed solar/pedal powered ELF in my avatar image. After 7 years of no gas or insurance or car expenses I easily saved enough to pay cash for my Arcimoto which is wise for me as I get old. Also better than a bike for deliveries or on dangerous roads or in rain or snow. In fact Arcimoto is developing a light e-trike called the MLM that will have superior range and self charging by pedaling while stationary. That will help even more to fill the gap between bikes and over powered excessively heavy cars that are too often driven with only one passenger and an empty trunk.

For an extra $5000 Deliverator upgrade they made no money on me, I bought the standard 2 seater, which you can not buy without the rear seats, and I removed the rear harness, seat and foot mats.

@@popeyegordon The Deliverator needs to be styled (or a variation) that's more like a private working vehicle, like your basic pickup, van, SUV or station wagon. I want a pedaled e-vehicle that can take a week's laundry, a kid, a week's worth of groceries, labradoodle, etc without a lot of compromise, otherwise it us a luxury vehicle that I will pass on purchasing. Definitely needs lockable doors, rather than just a small lockable back compartment. Heard where the back passengers/pets can freeze with the current model. If they are asmart they'll make sure it retains a fun element for toodling around. Very important to marketing... Price needs to be commensurate because there is a lot of compromise with ebikes. A lot of trails are impassable in my area in bad weather. The county doesn't maintain them like they do the roads and a pedaled e-vehicle suddenly becomes I have to bother storing rather than being 'a necessity.' Oh, and it could really use a 4th wheel to add to capacity and stability...
@popeyegordon
@popeyegordon Год назад
@@b_uppy First of all you revealed your insecure cheater mentality by upvoting your own comment. The Deliverator compartment design is perfact for may applications and it is beautifully streamlined. For more cargo the modular cargo box and pickup version is in the future. I removed my rear seat and enclosed that area with cargo net for cargo capacity that costs $5000 less than the Deliverator version. "I want a pedaled e-vehicle that can take a week's laundry, a kid, a week's worth of groceries, labradoodle, etc" Well duh! The Organic Transit car-bike met those requirements 9 years ago and only stopped production because of the pandemic. I drove my ELF as my only vehicle for 7 years which is how I easily saved up enough to pay cash for my FUV. I still have my ELF which is depicted in my avatar image. Useful pedal assist is limited to 20 mph top speeds. In the US a four wheeled ebike has to be licensed and insured as a car. They are not legal on roads otherwise.

@b_uppy
@b_uppy Год назад
Because many cyclists want a function-added eride, Arcimoto needs to continue along the car/van style pedaled lines. The other styles Arcimoto features are very similar to what a bunch of other competitors are already doing. That puts their other models in a tougher market to crack. Arcimoto needs to focus on the zag, and making the car/van more workable like lockability and doors.
@popeyegordon
@popeyegordon Год назад
No. That is a reality starved comment which, once again, you cheated on by upvoting yourself. NO PEDAL ASSIST VEHICLES ARE POSSIBLE WITH SPEEDS OVER 20 MPH! The tiny worthless added power of pedaling in a 1300 pound 75 mph speed EV is absurd to suggest. Pedal assist vehicles weigh under 200 pounds!! The PEBL design failed and went under because it weight 230 pounds.
@b_uppy
@b_uppy Год назад
@@popeyegordon Lol. PEBL has the same flawed reverse-trike design. It was poorly designed overall, just like the Deliverator. As I am interested in trail use a non pedal design and 75 mph speeds would be a huge fail. Lol. You're assuming I want 'pedal assist' per se, but there are many epedal options besides that. Lastly your remark on 'upvoting' shows you're a little more invested in this argument than most. Bad investment? Bad designer? Trying to sell one after experiencing buyer's remorse?

As a person who wants to invest - I need to hear a plan for getting out of the mess. Here is what I’d do: and laying off non production people will help, but if they are willing to work on the line, keep them. Get teams to assemble more than 6 a day. That’s too low. You should make sales of 10,000 a year. 38 a day needs to be made. Start out like Henry ford, build 1. Then get 10 people to build it faster. Then after you make a few thousand, you try to turn into an assembly line. You do not need an actual conveyor or moving line, just put the FUV’s on carts or home built kitchen tables with wheels. Sales price should be $14,000, and go to every pizza store looking for sales. The delivery drivers or franchises will buy one. The cost of the FUV might be $13,000, but try to get it down to $3000. Then profits come, and then I’ll buy your stock. 1,000,000 globally / yr. can be sold. I think maybe more.

Point me to another venture in this space that comes anywhere close on anywhere near our spend, or come visit and take a look for yourself. Only point I made above is that the company has historically aimed to be as clear as possible with stakeholders, repeatedly, about its expected timelines to get to the real “ramp up” stage, and have couched those estimates with caution.

A family member who trades stocks called and said “ Looks like you could be losing all your money on this one.” Don’t get me wrong. I’m the eternal optometrist. That’s why I own 5,000 shares. I watch every blog on Utube that comes my way. Most investors probably have the same interest, and fears. REE seems to exist with a share price of around $1.50. Are we going to go to the pink sheet list. I watched the Gurber/Jesse blog yesterday. I was hoping Gurber was going to give some hope on the cash burn crisis. Both said they invested in Arcimoto then dropped the subject. Not exactly inspirational. Ross is a heavy weight in the finance world. With the new addition of board members my optimism is simply fingers crossed. Tesla did the same thing back is 2018. Many thought they were ready to go down. We all know Arcimoto is a fledgling with wobbly legs. Was hoping to hear great thing about Hawaii. All I’ve heard is $325.00 was too high for a days rental. I’m once again hoping the updating videos are going to show us we need to stay enthused about our investment. On another note. Does anybody know if Arcimoto will be at the ELECTRIFY trade show in SanDiego. I have (2) calls into Arcimoto asking for details, but no callback yet.

Until then, perhaps the other company efforts will bear fruit, as the hand wringing continues.
