The Arcimoto FUV is a battery-electric, three-wheeled motorcycle produced by Arcimoto since 2019.[1] It has a top speed of 75 mph (121 km/h) and an estimated range of 102 miles (164 km) in an urban environment.[2][3]
The vehicle takes the form of a car and a motorcycle combined into a tricycle with two wheels on the front and a single wheel on the opposite side and a motorcycle-like twistgrip drive. The narrow and high body was designed to accommodate two passengers in seats placed one behind the other.[1][4]
The creation of the first production Arcimoto car was preceded by a 12-year construction process, which was initiated by a series of 6 prototypes, presented successively as a development of the previous one.[5] The final result of this work was the Arcimoto FUV model, presented in February 2019, deriving its name from the abbreviation of the words Fun Utility Vehicle, expressing the character of the vehicle.[6] The FUV went on sale in the United States, just after its market debut in February 2019.[7] The price for the cheapest model was $17,900.[8]
In July 2021, a pre-production unit supporting autonomous driving without the participation of the driver was presented.[9]
