Arcimoto FUV
Anyone have one of these?...https://www.arcimoto.com/
They look to be fun. The $19,900 FUV goes a little over a 100 miles per charge and it tops out at 75 mph.

I was thinking F'Ugly Vehicle
Although not quite as F'Ugly as some of the other "Look at ME" weird little Rent-Me vehicles available in Hawaii. It's a thing over there. Hawaii Five-O got in on the action

Seems a motorcycle would be more fun, with the same Utility. (read: none. I mean where do you carry the surf boards? )

Not a huge amount of cargo....but this one is more practical...
https://www.arcimoto.com/flatbed I think they are over-priced.

Interesting...
Golfcars have been a thing in AZ for decades now. How do these compare to those? Price and utility... clearly having 4-wheels is more stable.

The link in my first post has all the prices. (of all of their models)
Their selling point is that they all electric....and you can keep up with traffic on the streets. The loaded utility ones are almost the price of what I paid for my new Civic.

Yeah, even the barest-bones Honda Civics have heaters. ..and a few hundred mile range.
Oh, looks like the trikes are build in Eugene, OR. (not Seattle WA)

^^^ My mistake....I read the location in the C&D mag and messed it up.
And my SI gets over 400 miles per tank.
