Pix added in 2013. Apparently a Czechian effort.

Your post makes it sound like you've not heard of Arcimoto. Two reasons.



The FUV doesn't have the monocoque shell, but the loft line is spot on. Could you see one with a hand-beaten aluminum body?

Second, the Mean Lean Machine.

Arcimoto buys titling three-wheeler company to build electric tilting ...
The Eugene, Oregon-based Arcimoto has reached an agreement to buy Tilting Motor Works for approximately $10 million in a deal comprising a combination of cash and Arcimoto shares.
They never applied the technology to the FUV, but they showed the MLM concept with four electric motors one for each wheel and one for the pedals. Up on the kickstand it's an exercycle, down and it's a vehicle.

The bike trail at 0:53 is Alton Baker Park in Eugene. It's a blast on a regular bike.

I checked DDG and Tilting Motorworks still has a Facebook page but no website. Arcimoto is also in a dark mode since the bankruptcy.
