For as long as that chassis is you could seat 1 or 2 more people.
Just add seat(s) and pegs as needed.
Coss, a very interesting idea! The Quad Roadster or The Arcimoto Limo...........a ‘family’ three wheeler commuter supplement to the family car. I’m going to post your idea on their Face book page to catch their reaction. :)

Rickb add in a back rest so the last person doesn't lean back and falls off.
That would be bad, the driver wouldn't know it till it came time to dismount.
It would be like "hey, when did we lose little Billy" Or put sensors in the seat.

Amazing! Removing the top instantly transformed it from a golf cart looks to a sporty 3wheeler!
Wait a minute..........are you calling my FUV a golf cart?! I just don’t see it. :)

The sensor idea may be too late! :) The FUV is very quiet so the driver would probably hear the screams.

Lol But seriously as much as I like that can-am looking prototype, I still prefer roof and windshield for a bit of protection from the elements!
Me too! And more importantly the safety factors - seat belts and roof crush resistance. I wish the heck they would get the doors on, so I can take delivery. Frankly, I would prefer the full enclosure and climate control you’ll experience with your SOLO. I may be compelled to take up golf!

That's pretty cool Rick, the post office pay for part of it?
Coss, No, the rebuild was paid for by the owner of the FUV. He used his original FUV for his contracted USPS delivery route. After Arcimoto unveiled their Deliverator prototype he got pretty excited to do the mod on his original vehicle. My guess is Arcimoto provided the parts and labor at a very reasonable cost and they likely consider it a test Deliverator. He loves the new build, lots more cargo space, easier to access,fully enclosed, and weather proof. I think he has over 8000 trouble free miles on his “work horse” FUV.

This is his FUV prior to the makeover:
