    Default Arcimoto electric trike.

    Looks very much like a Spyder with a cage. I wonder if Can-Am is looking at an electric Spyder?

    They had a prototype (to create some excitement) that was shown on here a few years ago. Nothing since then. I think BRP wanted to spend their engineer's time developing the F3, rather than the green spyder. I don't think the prototype ever left the drawing board.

    Oh, I forgot, what you linked to looks nothing like a spyder, other than it has 3 wheels.

    It fits nicely in the autocycle catagory. Should do well but has a long way to prove itself....time and Joe Public will tell...

    Default Nice but.....

    With the exception of being what appears to be an excellent commuter vehicle, I don't think it's a very practical vehicle for much else. There does not appear to be anything resembling storage space. So I would guess shopping is out. Ditto for a road trip.

    I don't think that most of the MC community is ready for an all electric bike. The Zero has some takers, but is not zooming off the charts as of this time.

    Speed, battery time, and cost are three factors that make me say no at this time.

    Ideal for use on the LA car pool lanes. Meets all of the requirements for one person in vehicle, instead of two or more.

    We must a wear helmet on a 2 wheeled motorcycle BUT----- not on 3 wheels like the BUT as of October it becomes a must . The helmet provisions are WELL buried in the 9 pages of the bill passed this year. But a covered 3-wheeler may be excempt.
