Apparently the profanities got deleted, as I haven't seen any posters using profanities to express their skepticism.

I was cautioned and my posts deleted several times because of my poor choice of words directed at EM.....

I do know a real woman isn’t going SOLO.

That looks like someone just forcing the issue where they love their FUV right now but in a year will have given up on that method of package delivery. Plus, what happens when it rains? Do all of those boxes stay dry? I bet they do not.

Wow. Talk about being assumptive to match your narrative! Here's your answer: I doubt that he'll give up on that method anytime soon. That's a picture of the co-admin of the Arci fan group's FUV. It's his second Arcimoto. He traded his Beta in on an Evergreen free gratis recently. He's been using them to do his mail runs for about a year. BTW, he lives in a concrete dome house which he built himself.

...your words don't match your actions. ...I haven't seen a single owner-review of the vehicle

Really? You may need to look a little harder. They are ALL OVER the internet including YouTube. Or, more conveniently, you could try the Facebook fan group.

I may be a bit cynical, but it looks like Arcimoto is requiring owners to sign an NDA of some kind.

You can't be serious. Arcimoto has been the most transparent of all these startups throughout their entire history. Again, there are thousands of posts and reviews by both corporate and private owners out there if you care to look. The forum and group members don't hold back. Arcimoto never stops improving and refining the vehicle on-the-fly in response to their feedback. I'd say you're a little out of the loop at the very least.

They realize the company doesn't have its ducks in a row, but can't express concerns for fear that one negative comment will be the straw that breaks the camel's back and destroy any slim chance of ever getting their vehicle... It is extremely odd that none of the 70 or so owners appear to have bothered to create a youtube channel, blog/vlog, website, etc about their ownership experience and real-world performance information. Feel free to provide links if I'm wrong, but I couldn't didn't find any.

I launched the FUV forum website over three years ago and I launched the extremely active current iteration of the Facebook FUV fan group recently. There are more than 2,000 members between the two. I'd venture to guess that all the owners are members of one or the other, or both. I occasionally take flack from some of the FB members for allowing posts that are negative toward Arcimoto and the FUV, but I've as I've stated in the Facebook group welcome, the group is lightly moderated and dedicated to the growth and proliferation of all things Arcimoto and FUV across the globe. I will not run a heavily censored group. You get the good, bad and ugly in real time. The company and product either stand on their own or they don't. So far, there's no doubt that Arcimoto is alive and doing extremely well. Members also include some of the staff and management of Arcimo who occasionally offer information and answer a question or two. I'd love to make it easy for you but posting those links is frowned upon here. I prefer to respect our hosts and follow the rules.

Arcimoto is free to use this as their new sales campaign slogan: Arcimoto FUV - Made by Women, for Women!

The Arcimoto Rapid Responder - In the Making for EMT’s, Security, and Law Enforcement Officers.

2 new FUV platform model prototypes Deliverator & Rapid Responder revealed over the last 2 weeks. The women & men on Team Arcimoto are on a roll. Good news for three wheeler fans, by getting three wheelers in the public eye.

You mean that Arcimoto does not have the same SEC non disclosure rules as Elio Motors?

I've been to fuvowners.com on various occasions. The site is basically dead. No real owner reviews.
I don't do facebook, but dropped by the site. Again, no real owner reviews.
I've looked for fuv owner reviews on youtube. Couldn't find ANY. Bunch of promo and test ride videos, but no owner reviews.

I call bull-hockey. I've looked, and they aren't there. Again, feel free to post links to actual owner reviews. Until then, I stand by my claim that my google-fu is not weak as you claim.
I couldn't find any any independent road tests either. No documentation of range, charging times, performance, etc. Just a bunch of promos and demo rides.
"If I care to look" - nonsense.

I must admit I didn’t consider numbers, only that opportunity exists for women according to Arcimoto’s women employees. You would have to contact Arcimoto’s Personnel Dept. Manager for answers to your questions. I wonder what the odds are that’s a man or woman. Please let me know. Regardless, American jobs for men and women.

It makes sense. When my wife went into real estate, it was a way for women to further themselves. She did great and I appreciate that. It was that after 10 years she hit the ceiling. Those commercial accounts are for men. So a $10M piece of property is for men. $100k is what women can handle.
I like when companies come out for women’s day but in the end, most hide what they have done to put them in upper level positions. Ones that do not advertise this, typically have a very heavy male upper management structure. If FUF was truly pro women, they would push this, yet they do not.

I ask, your favorite engineer has no name. Why is that?

Not pro women??????? Arcimoto is a new startup Company and I’m happy they are currently providing 73+ American manufacturing jobs in Eugene, Oregon (maybe some day 1500), advertising for help wanted, and ass.u.me they hire the most qualified applicant for the job. Regarding your no name question, I simply made the general statement and I didn’t think anybody really cared that I had a favorite Mechanical Engineer let alone her name. The original Arcimoto Team looks to have had one woman that’s still with the company.
