Arcimoto FUVs a NASDAQ Addition

Published: April 13th, 2021

Arcimoto, makers of fun, utility vehicles for commuters and fleets, announced NASDAQ’s approval today. The company can now list its shares of common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market, a positive growth sign.

A Eugene, Oregon manufacturer of affordable three-wheeled electric vehicles (EVs), Arcimoto looks to change the world. Their Fun Utility Vehicles (FUVs) can be preordered in California, Oregon, Washington, and Florida. Arcimoto also offers two other models, with the Deliverator for last-mile delivery, and the emergency response Rapid Responder. All three cost less than gas-powered vehicles while promoting their lower environmental impact.

“Arcimoto’s rise speaks volumes about the urgency of our mission, and the importance of creating a sustainable transportation system as soon as possible,” said Mark Frohnmayer, Arcimoto Founder and CEO. “Arcimoto is building products to solve this global problem. We believe the move to The Nasdaq Global Market will make Arcimoto more accessible to investors around the world.”

Starting at $17,900, the FUV has a 75 MPH top speed, and a 100-mile city range. The FUV has a 29-foot turning circle. Plug it into any 110- or 220-volt outlet. Arcimoto backs it with a 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty. The FUV is positioned as an alternative to owning a car. There are only four options, including four half-door sets, locking rear storage, a phone mount, and a cup holder. Its heated seats and handgrips are no doubt welcome on chilly days in the Pacific Northwest.

Our relative proximity to Arcimoto’s Oregon headquarters makes it entirely possible to test drive, or ride as the case may be, an FUV in the near future. We’ll be waiting for the opportunity to see if it’s as much fun as they say it is.

With a father who owned a dealership, I literally grew up in the business. After college, I worked for GM, Nissan and Mazda, writing articles for automotive enthusiast magazines as a side gig. I discovered you could make a living selling ad space at Four Wheeler magazine, before I moved on to selling TV for the National Hot Rod Association. After that, I started Roadhouse, a marketing, advertising and PR firm dedicated to the automotive, outdoor/apparel, and entertainment industries. Through the years, I continued writing, shooting, and editing. It keep things interesting.

$18k for a really fast golf cart? Hard pass.

I'd be absolutely open to this, if we could get the value proposition higher, or cost much lower. Either it needs to offer a ton more range, full doors(as others have noted)...or, it needs to drop by about 10k(before incentives).

Laflamcs My wife got a new 500 Turbo in 2015. Black exterior with an incredible red leather interior and a stick! The glass sunroof was epic and it was just about the whole roof that seemed to roll back. Anyway, that little bugger was an absolute blast to drive. Loved being run hard and shifted fast. Despite its small exterior dimensions, one could pile a lot into it. She remember stocking up at COSTCO one time when a passerby in the parking lot looked at her full cart and asked "Will it all fit?" It did. We had wonderful times with that car and many travels. It was reliable in the years we owned it and had TONS of character lacking in most "sporty" car. Loved the Italian handling, steering, and shift action. We had to trade it in after our daughter came along in 2018 (too small for 3 vacationers). She traded it in for a Jeep Renegade Latitude 6 speed, in which we can still feel a bit of that Italian heritage in the aforementioned driving qualities. IIRC, the engine in this Abarth is the same as in our Renegade. We still talk about that little 500..........
Rochester If I could actually afford an Aston Martin, I would absolutely consider living in an Aston themed condo.
Redapple2 I ve slept on it. I would take one on a 3 yr lease for $199/mo- ($1000 down total). Evil gm Vampire gave me this deal in 2012.
3SpeedAutomatic Would prefer a non-turbo with a stick shift. That would be more fun to drive!!🚗🚗🚗Also, I could teach my nieces and nephews to drive a standard. You'd be surprised how many folks can't handle a stick shift today. Yet, in Europe, most rental cars come with a stick unless you specify otherwise.
