I hadn't thought of "driving tips" but it makes good sense to have that somewhere. As an engineer, I am thinking about the differences from either 4-wheelers or motorcycles. With a 4-wheeler, you are concerned (consciously or not) about oversteer and understeer and how vehicle loading affects these. With a motorcycle, the tires do not scrub along the centerline yet we see motorcycle tires on the Arcimoto.
For example: Just how hard can you brake and steer at the same time? That's an area where the 2 up front (tadpole wheel arrangement) has a large safety advantage over a 2 in back tricycle.
Or maybe you can call it "nerd hangout"
I love the feedback.
What would you think of changing "FUV Drivetrain" to the more broad "Technical Discussion"? I can add a description to clarify its purposes to include maintenance info and make it a catch-all for that stuff too, so that we can keep things simple.
"Driving Tips" seems to be a popular idea. Let's add it in.

"Technical Discussion" works for me. Just my opinion.

A clear description would be good for all categories so as to help keep them focused.

Okay here's what I think we've settled on:
General FUV Discusion - Unchanged
In the News - Unchanged
Events - Formerly "FUV Events"
Photos and Video - Unchanged
Driving Tips - New
Upgrades and Options - Unchanged
Technical Discussion - Formerly "FUV Powertrain"
Arcimoto Company and Stock - Formerly "FUV Stock"
Production and the AMP - Formerly "The AMP"
Purchase and Delivery - Merged categories "Delivery, Final Fees, and Incentives" and "Delivered FUVs"
If there are no other big suggestions or concerns, I'll set this up in the next couple of days.

Update compete. I also adjusted the forums into a little more logical order.
