• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Arcimoto - They're at it again

:yikes: Looks like it grew on the Ugly tree! It'll give the Cam-Ams a bad reputation.
 
Couple of thoughts..... Having body framework OUTSIDE the tupperware makes for impossible cleaning. I wonder what make of tires they come with. Sure don't look like Kendas. Even the sales guy (reviewer?) did not have all good things to say about this ugly POS. I don't expect we will begin seeing these on the roads soon, if at all...... Jim
 
I will just stick to my Spyder. For the price of their 3 wheeler you can buy a Can Am Spyder and not be limited to your range of battery power. The Spyder is a lot better looking too. Hopefully people will not confuse this thing for a Spyder.

Actually Jim, they are ALREADY on the roads, selling for $23,900 or there-abouts (USD? Canadian $$ - :dontknow: ) - maybe not in the thousands yet, but I believe there's some hundreds sold & on the roads already! :thumbup: Not here in Oz yet tho.... :rolleyes:

So they're beginning to make (tiny??) inroads on the North American market with this AND with their less cargo capable 'roll-cage equipped' Fun Utility Vehicle too! (Yeah, those too aren't 'pretty' either! :p ) Arcimoto are pretty serious about getting their electric Reverse Trikes out there (regardless of their looks :shocked: ) unlike someone else who's been promising us an electric Spyder since before 2010 and has yet to actually come up with the goods :rolleyes: And that's despite trotting out the same old chestnut every now & then in an effort to convince us they're serious! :banghead: Still, I reckon I'll waiting.... :popcorn:

I was thinking the same thing. It says the range is 175 miles. How does speed effect battery range. Does the faster you go use more battery power thus lowering the range you can travel? I don't know.

The range will drop for sure based on speed. My guess at 75 mph you would get less than a 100 mile range.
 
It's got great company in other areas!

We had incidents where we had to pump for 24 hours. This after driving quite some distance. That's why we had 2- 50 gal. saddle tanks. I suppose this is why it needs a diesel engine 'Extender'. I hope this works out for them.

I sure don't like the Look of it , its WAY too Long , and the deal with an Eng. for each front wheel , 2 eng's mean twice the chance of an Eng. breakdown . and even with 2 eng's still very little HP . sooooooooo , they can count me out for sure.
 
Oh my, not another 'extension cord' machine. People that build these EVs are determined that 'we' buy them. I'm digging my heels in on that.
 
Can-Am is trying to come out with their EV Spyder by 2024. They have stated for sure they will have EV's in all their product ranges (on road, off road, snow, and water) by 2026. I am really looking forward to getting one. I am all about EV's. No question this is the wave of the future.

Larry is absolutely correct. Manufacturer ratings are extremely overrated. Expect about half what they estimate when riding in real world situations.
