Arcimoto

Stephanie Ruhle, Bloomberg Business writer/critic who test drove and reviewed the SRK for Bloomberg Business. She loved it!

This is one of the most informative interviews about the SRK that I've seen.

"It has side intrusion protection and that's something we're going to continue to beef up."

I wonder if she'd mind if I used her for my avitar

I installed a "like" system on the SRK site as well as on the Solo site.
Now if I could only figure out how to get better smilies...

It would be a far better avatar if you transpose a photo of your face with the same expression on her test ride photo.........or better yet your personal SRK test ride photo. Every single auto industry connected SRK test ride review has been two thumbs up on performance, handling, the overall FUNction, and need for Arcimoto's concept commuter.

Hmm ... I wonder why there haven't been any test rides in Phoenix this summer.

Maybe they were afraid the heat would boil the batteries dry.

Hmm ... I wonder why there haven't been any test rides in Phoenix this summer.

The tour schedule has been limited to a range around their home base........and a trip to the NY Auto Show. The key is they have provided the opportunity for reservationist's and auto industry critics test drives in the Red & Blue Gen 8's with rave reviews on performance and handling. The competition for getting a three wheeler to market is hot........and Arcimoto is creating some heat to meet their end of 2016 production goal. They plan an eastward bound test ride and drive tour schedule sometime in the Fall.

I wouldn't want them to wait so long that the excitement cools off.

 

[Rickb]

The typical wannabe three wheeler owner fans (ICE or electric concepts) are used to long waits. The excitement never ends, particularly when waiting for a test ride event.

True, I was more referring to the weather. Test rides when it's in the mid 70s out with clear skies make great first impressions and all, but the daily commuter driveability will be determined by the extremes of weather. And so far, the SRK has not yet proved that it can provide a comfortable ride and maintain reasonable range in heat, bitter cold or heavy rain. I'll need that information before I sign up for one.

Again, I like the concept, but the devil is in the implementation details.

Arcimoto...not safe...slow...lack of range...no AC...at over twice the price of the Elio. Lack of interest as well judging from the 5 members. CNBC called Tesla a money burning machine for a hobbyist as opposed to a legitimate business...no hope for a toy like Arcimoto... don't even get me started on Polaris!
