Here's the new super quiet gearbox and a bonus video of Arcimoto with Paul and Jerome.

Thanks for those vids. Does anyone know how many "Signature Series" of the SRK are being built? I put down a deposit so I am wondering how long after that run it will be before I see the glimmer of my new headlights.

Nice to see Elio/Arcimoto playing nicely in the same sandbox.

I recall 5 or 6 Signature Series Builds for early adopter road testing at around $43K each.

From Arcimoto's Facebook...
"Mechanical Designer Jim Jordan has been dialing in the suspension for the Signature Series.
Here he is to tell you about it while Industrial Designer Collin Lafayette gets some testing in."

Those things need little sound generators; I thought it was bad now for as quiet as cars are, where if kids are in the street playing they don't hear you coming up behind them; you do it with EV's and it will be "run silent, run deep" going down the road. Or like a Shark going down the road hunting.

I want one that makes a noise like the space car from the Jetsons cartoon.

Well you have the sound, just edit the middle to a loop, and have the end of it play when you're coming to a stop.
Mount a speaker in the front & rear and 100watt amp and you're all set. <actually, it's very fitting, and would be very cool>

A popular solution: The V Twin Motorcycle seems most appropriate.

It will soon be required for all EVs travelling under 19MPH and under to emit an audible warning sound for pedestrians.

"The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ruled in November 2016 that warning sounds are mandatory from September 2019 for electrified vehicles travelling at less than 19 mph (30 km/h) or going in reverse.[3]"
