The problem with the Arcimoto is that it is a motorcycle. It is not only less useful than a car it also doesn't get the tax credits available for a car. In their home state of Oregon the Arcimoto gets $2500 in incentives while while a car gets $10,000.

$15,200 is a lot to pay for a two seat trike without doors.
