Arcimoto, Inc has established a unique business model focused on building Fun Utility Vehicle, Rapid Responder, and Deliverator are some of the lightest, most affordable, and most appropriate electric vehicles suitable for everyday transport. Their business model and compelling product profile are complemented by new technologies and patterns of mobility that together raise the bar for environmental efficiency, footprint, and affordability.

Company is engaged in all the stages, including the design, development, and pre-production of these ultra-efficient three-wheeled electric vehicles.

Arcimoto is currently developing three vehicle products based on the Arcimoto Platform: The Fun Utility Vehicle (FUV), the Rapid Responder, and the Deliverator. While intended to serve very different market segments, an estimated 90% of the constituent parts are the same between our three initial products.

The auto industry as a whole and more importantly this particular segment is all set to change significantly with new emission norms, regulations promoting electric vehicles and giving a massive boost to the overall electrical vehicle ecosystem, and overall thrust on an affordable, practical, and joyful pure electric vehicle.

From the Company’ perspective, while the demand for Arcimoto’s ultra-efficient and exciting products has already zooming. The management anticipates that the overall demand would continue to surge as the Company delivers its retail FUVs to the early customers, open rental hubs in key destinations, and pilot new vehicle models including the Rapid Responder and Deliverator.

Now that there is clear visibility with regard to where the Company is heading, the Company plans to Begin distribution from three west coast states of Washington, Oregon, and California and building supply chains alongside product development. Once Retail Series production is underway, FUV  would enter into nation-wide distribution.

The company is about to begin retail production after spending almost a decade on developing and refining eight generations of a new three-wheeled electric vehicle platform.  For its upcoming launch, Arcimoto has already completed reservations for the first three months of planned production capacity of 100 vehicles, including the collection of $5,000 non-refundable reservation fees.

• FUV recently announced the financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
