  Pre-order placed, let's roll!
Posted by: GodFollower - 02-21-2018, 05:15 PM - Forum: Introduce Yourself - Replies (10)

Hey gang!

Wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I just placed my pre-order last week, been following Arcimoto for a while now and seeing the product delivered to Capt Reynolds(err...Nathan Fillion) I decided it was time to pull the trigger. Based out of Portland, OR I am not too far from Eugene; hoping to get a tour of the Arcimoto facility soon and have been chatting with them regarding it.

I am an electric vehicle diagnostic specialist technician for BMW, working mainly on the i3 and i8. So I have a fair amount of EV experience, been driving EV since 2014 and have been all over them from a service perspective too. Very excited to see this type of platform coming to market, great commuter vehicle for my 25 mile round trip daily commute. I am also a member of the local chapter Electric Vehicle Association(OEVA).

Looking forward to some of the first people getting their Signature Series units and reporting back on operational details, and working through the inevitable new model vehicle and new company growing pains with this group as well as the Arcimoto team!

Well, just one question: Why is it every time I buy FUV it goes down immediately?  LOL  Damn!  OK, another question: The stock has no relation to any reality thatI can think of, but does a lower stock price hurt the execution of the Game Plan here for production?

  Licensing is difficult in Texas
Posted by: shome - 02-12-2018, 11:22 PM - Forum: General FUV Discussion - Replies (30)

I was checking to see how the FUV can be licensed in Texas.  Here is what I learned.  My choices are 3 wheeled motor cycle, motorcycle or autocycle.

A 3WMC must meet the following design requirements:



1.  Three-track wheel orientation (leaves three separate tracks during straight-line operation)

•  Dual wheels may be in the front or the rear



2.  Motorcycle-based conversion or design

•  Handlebar steering

•  Motorcycle-type controls arranged with the standard convention (convenience alterations such as a single brake

pedal or lever control, automatic clutch, or automatic transmission are allowed)

•  Saddle seating

  • ̵  Seating causes rider/passenger to straddle vehicle 
  • ̵  If designed for a passenger, passenger must be seated behind operator 


3.  Turning diameter of the vehicle at its widest point must be less than 40'
4.  The vehicle must meet all applicable federal/state on-road vehicle standard

All that sounds great but there are exceptions to the above rules.

Under no circumstances will vehicles with the following designs be allowed in the 3WBRC:

•  Automotive hybrids or automotive conversions

•  Motorcycles with sidecars

•  Vehicles with automotive controls or seating

•  Vehicles with rear or front mounted engines (engines must be mounted mid-frame below the rider)

•  Vehicles with enclosed or semi-enclosed riding compartments

•  Any other radical departure from the standard motorcycle design, unless such departures are required to
compensate for a physical handicap.

Texas has a vehicle classification called an autocycle but that requires a steering wheel.  The FUV has motorcycle controls.

A motorcycle needs a saddle.

I am not sure that there is a valid classification for the FUV in Texas.  I am seriously disappointed.

Please someone correct me.

I took some of my charging questions to the source, and asked a couple of other questions and made a couple of suggestions.

Kyle was my contact person and very helpful.

1>  I will need a portable charging station to utilize the NEMA 14-50 RV outlets.

2> For home charging, the FUV comes with a 110v cable, but will have an adapter plug that allows it to plug into a home 220v outlet. He said they are looking at several ways to go about this.  Kyle thought this would provide "near Level 2 charging, but asked me to email him so he could verify with the electrical engineers.

3>  The doors should be revealed around the end of Q1/beginning of Q2 this spring! Cool

4> The trailer hitch I asked about last year is definitely going to be there, but they are waiting for the start of production to add it.  Kyle says it is a simple thing for them to do, so they are putting it off while they deal with everything else.

5> I asked if the handlebars would lock for security & safety like all other motorcycles.  I could hear the light bulb over his head firing up! Tongue   That feature had never occurred to them, but he realized that it would be a very valuable addition.

6>  I suggested they consider placing attachment points for one of the major motorcycle luggage companies saddlebag mounting hardware such as Givi.  Again, I heard the light bulb. Wink   All Arcimoto needs to do is make certain that there is a place to attach the hardware, or add it as an option.  They do not need to provide the actual mount or consider making their own luggage/saddlebags.

Kyle said he was going to bring up my suggestions at their next meeting.  I asked about delivery if I place a deposit when the sides are revealed in a couple of months.  Kyle said probably Q2, 2019, but hinted that maybe as soon as Q1, 2019.  I think I'm going to give myself a Valentines present and reserve mine this month.
