Management Commentary

“The second quarter of 2019 was marked by continued pre-production testing and fine tuning in advance of retail-series production of our Evergreen Edition Fun Utility Vehicle,” said Mark Frohnmayer, Founder and President of Arcimoto. “We continue to build key offtake partnerships, such as with GoCar Tours and Sol Mar Vida, to further grow demand for the FUV worldwide. We believe this strategy will efficiently build market awareness and address high-value commercial FUV applications, ranging from tourism leisure rentals to urban delivery.”

“Our 4,128 pre-orders and continued net pre-order growth stand as testaments to the strong market demand potential for the FUV, which we believe will help catalyze a fundamental shift in perception towards the rightsizing of the footprint of global mobility. We are ready to execute on the next leg of our growth, and are planning for the successful near-term launch of the FUV. We look forward to delivering upon a vision more than a decade in the making,” concluded Frohnmayer.
