EUGENE, Ore. – Arcimoto Inc. has taken significant steps lately toward getting its battery powered, three-wheeled, “Fun Utility Vehicle” into mass production, but it still has a long way to go.
“We realize, we’re only reaching the starting line,” said Mark Frohnmayer, Arcimoto president, as he officially opened the company’s future factory here last month. At the same time, Arcimoto took delivery of a giant, laser-powered cutting machine to make steel parts.
Shortly afterward, the company reached another milestone when it retailed its first small batch of essentially hand-built vehicles, including some to its own employees, friends, and families.
