TAKING ARCIMOTO FUV TO IN-N-OUT BURGER AS ONE DOES IN SOCAL

EV Channels Review

The Arcimoto FUV is presented as a unique and wild vehicle, primarily for its novelty and open-air experience. Reviewers found the built-in phone mount to be an excellent feature, but this was overshadowed by significant criticisms. The steering is heavy due to the lack of power assistance, and the regenerative braking, controlled by a thumb trigger, is difficult to modulate and feels inconsistent, often described as an 'on-off switch' or 'terrifying' when combined with steering. The ride quality is deemed very firm and uncomfortable, with limited suspension travel. While it has a decent amount of power, especially at speed, the vehicle inspires little confidence, with a perceived risk of rolling over during abrupt maneuvers. The double seatbelts are noted as less effective than four-point harnesses. The reviewer also highlighted the high price point of $24,000 as a major drawback, suggesting it would be a better value at a significantly lower price or as a rental vehicle for beach towns. Despite the criticisms, the FUV is acknowledged as a fun, albeit impractical, vehicle for short, low-speed excursions.
