Yes, silly law for an autocycle, but a law it is.
I will fill the 'normal' headlight hollows with low glowing lights, I think it will look very cool, while warning pedestrians and oncoming cars of the true width of the vehicle.
Motorcycle or autocycle, depends which State you are in, maybe sometimes drunk ...

I have been heavily in negotiation for over a week with various projects that I can include the BEX into, don't worry about the quietness on my side, the project is not suffering in anyway.
I...
I have not stopped working, just not much to report.
Even when I was on holiday I was designing, planning, contacting companies for various future angles on the project.
I am deep into one right now actually, a small startup has managed to attach himself to a larger car company, and I am...
Sorry for the quiet everyone, again there is no particular project delay, just many personal things in the background taking up my time not from the car, but from the group.
Things like finding and moving a family member into an apartment here, as well as phone and banking etc, my mother in law...
I hate silent movies, always did, and I hate these silent times when i have nothing to report., sorry.
Well I do have something to report: I have nothing to report!
Hang in there, if the project ever dies, I will tell you straight up, please don't consider these silent periods as anything...
Been sorting things in the factory and figuring the next steps, which will included finishing the front suspension and getting into the bodywork proper.
As some know, cancelled flight due to bad weather, missed my plane back home, many hours on the phone rescheduling (no cost), finally arrived back home this morning but not my suitcase, darn it.
So anyway, back to work!
Pleas dont think the lack of posts is anything negative about the project.
Thanks for the continued support and DONT PANIC!
This station will resume normal services soon ...
Just reporting in and the news of my death have been greatly exaggerated!
Have been to Malaysia and Indonesia over the last week,now dropped in to Australia for a few days to say hi to family,and then straight back to the grind ....
Lining up the rear suspension, fuel tank, tow bar ect.
Just a piece of scrap bent square tube in the lower picture to show the basics of how the rear bumber/towbar will work.
Swingarm bearings are just stock pillow block bearings from any bearing shop, and cheap, as is the 20mm threaded rod...
I read a study about 7 or 8 years ago covering all non essential personal use vehicles, and at the time, $15,000 (not purchase price, but purchase and costs over 1 year) was the point where sales dramatically dropped off, be it motorcycles, kit planes, kit cars, snowmobiles, jetskis etc.
Sad to see that appointed Arcimoto warranty repair shops are refusing to do work on Arcimotos because the factory won't (or can't) pay them for work they have already done.
Phones aren't important to me, but I do use them to take snaps to upload pictures here, but because not important, I often forget to take it with me, so no snaps of the mounted rear suspension swingarm today ...
I believe I have found a niche market small airconditioning company to do the...
Out with the old, in with the new ... I was a little despondent cutting up the fiberglass floor and putting it in the rubbish.
With these builds you need to plan 10 steps ahead, what you design today, might not be right 10 steps later, and I have hit roadblocks a few times, but believed this...
Weaklings! I rode bikes daily for 20 years, any weather.
Originally from Melbourne in Australia, and it was cold rain a lot in Winter, my secret was fishing waders, toes all the way up to my armpits, with a heavy army coat, and a spare pair of dry shoes. Kept me completely dry and warm...
