Arcimoto is commencing the delivery of Fun Utility Vehicles to its initial customers in California, Oregon, and Washington. The two-person, 3-wheeled electric reverse trike has undergone 12 years of development and has finally entered the retail production phase at Arcimoto’s facility in Eugene, Oregon.

Mark Frohnmayer said, “The Fun Utility Vehicle (FUV) symbolizes a notable advancement towards a sustainable transportation future, characterized by fully electric vehicle appropriate sized for everyday drivers”.

With over 4,000 pre-orders, the FUV has garnered significant interest. The vehicle is equipped with dual motors at the front, enabling it to reach a top speed of 75 mph (120.7 km/h) and provide an EPA range of 102.5 miles (165 km) per charge. The initial retail model includes features such as heated seats and grips, Bluetooth speakers, removable half-doors, and lockable storage at the rear.

Priced at US$19,900, FUV is one of the options available on the Arcimoto platform. However, it is not the only one. Other three-wheelers based on the same platform, such as the Deliverator, designed for local and last-mile deliveries, and the Rapid Responder, intended for emergency services and campus security purposes.
