WE HAD A WEEKEND OF FUN WITH THE ARCIMOTO FUV ELECTRIC TRIKE - AND WE LOVED IT!

EV Channels Review

The Arcimoto FUV is presented as a unique "Fun Utility Vehicle" that successfully blends motorcycle-like engagement with practical utility, offering a compelling alternative to both traditional motorcycles and micro-EVs like the Renault Twizy. The reviewer, Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield, found the FUV surprisingly capable and enjoyable, praising its responsive handling, ample torque, and intuitive controls, which feel akin to a quad bike. Despite its "brick-like" aerodynamics impacting range at higher speeds (estimated 30-50 miles at 75 mph, versus 100 miles in city driving), the FUV proves versatile enough for highway use, feeling stable and planted. Key advantages highlighted include its engaging driving experience, the ability to carry a passenger, and its potential for small businesses and emergency services. The primary criticism is the current price, deemed too high, though the prospect of a future $12,500 target price is seen as a game-changer. Overall, the FUV is lauded for breaking industry rules and delivering a genuinely fun and functional experience, making the reviewer emphatically state, "I know I want one."
