Arcimoto FUV

The Arcimoto FUV is a battery-electric, three-wheeled motorcycle produced by Arcimoto since 2019. It has a top speed of 75 mph and an estimated range of 102 miles in an urban environment.

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.

History
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. 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. The FUV went on sale in the United States, just after its market debut in February 2019. The price for the cheapest copy was set at $17.9 thousand.

In July 2021, a pre-production unit supporting autonomous driving without the participation of the driver was presented.

Vehicle
The FUV's 77 hp electric motor allows a top speed of 75 mph and acceleration to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. Arcimoto measures its range in a city environment at 102 miles. The lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 20 kWh also allows the driver to drive at 55 mph for 66 miles and at 70 mph for 32 miles on a single charge.

The structure of the body was formed by exposed piping with a large windshield.

Variants
In 2021, the offer of body variants of FUV was also extended to include a delivery variant called Arcimoto Deliverator, as well as a model with an open body without windows called Arcimoto Roadster.
