Anyone interested in three wheelers should hope for Arcimoto’s success and stop the negative opinions regarding their funding sources. They crossed the production finish line, are delivering FUVs to HAPPY customers, and received an additional round of funding that allows them to restart production with the 2023 FUV and added the Deliverator to their model line-up. Arcimoto’s success validates a market demand for other new startup three wheeler wannabes, like BEX and Nimbus.
The good news is based on BEX’s comments regarding Arcimoto’s business model, the FUV‘s design/engineering flaws,, and claim that he can do it with far less money and more efficiently. I assume he has funding, parts suppliers, and a manufacturing partner ready and waiting on a fast track production start. No anticipated pre or post funding, parts supplier, production, delivery, sales and servicing plan Issues. That’s a good situation to be in and good news for those of us wanting and waiting to get behind the steering wheel or handlebars of an electric or ICE three wheeler that meets our needs.
