I could be raking in money as a pizza delivery driver. Curbside, less walking. Of course I'd need to submit to the Panopticon.

*There are three current model lines of Spyders as of 2020, starting at $8,500.00 USD and ranging up to $27,300 USD. [Wikipedia]
How is this great for last mile delivery? To me it seems to have the worst features of a motorcycle and a car.
  • It is open to the air like a motorcycle so you are limited to usage in good weather or it is a miserable experience for the driver.
  • It is almost the size of a car so you can't split lanes like a motorcycle or squeeze into tiny parking spaces.
  • It is legally a motorcycle so you don't get a $7500 tax credit.
  • It costs as much as a car.
I can't see why any enterprising pizza delivery driver would choose an Arcimoto over a used Leaf for 1/2 the price.
