Wait - Arcimoto won't sell customers service parts like brake rotors? What are owners supposed to do in the future when they need parts for normal maintenance - let alone crash damage?

It’s not that they don’t want to. I’m just not sure they have paid employees, money to ship parts, and even a way to take payment. It’s why I got a parts Arcimoto “Earl.”

Ah - the end has finally come.
I see that a month ago Arcimoto was delisted from the NASDAQ because they fail to file SEC quarterly reports. (They did file their 3Q2023 report on 12-Feb-2024)
That report says: " the company’s accounts payable balance is approximately $9,500,000 at February 9, 2024, of which a significant amount is more than 30 days past due."
No doubt their suppliers have cut them off to try to minimize losses.

This appeared on Youtube a few hours ago:
At ?t=1064 they proceed to tear down a Roadster. By ?t=1258 They're down to the part I want, to stuff in the back of my Baja Bug. At some point they mention that the parts are raided from other UTV manufacturers parts bins. So there should be other sources to brake rotors, and &.
edit:
Here's this via www.arcimotohub.com/2024/03/documentation.html#more:
An in-the-works parts listing at docs.google.com/: Arcimoto Parts List. Basically, John Deere Gator and Cushman parts.

Thanks. A nice collection of parts. Talking on the FUV is easier because the roof channels the sound front to back.
That prompted me to look into this: www.msn.com: 'Doing this sale-leaseback unencumbers us,' Arcimoto selling its main manufacturing plant
So they're not defunct. They could survive bankruptcy. Too bad they didn't hold onto the original factory on 2nd Street (the AMP that preceded the RAMP). Growing too fast is as bad as not growing fast enough.

Rich Rebuilds takes one another of the only five Arcimoto Roadsters and tears it to pieces.
Wish he'd done a Beetle. I offered him one of mine.

I didn't even need to watch the video, but it's a Honda Beat anyway. I wouldn't be so willing to convert one to EV, as its stock engine is a marvel of engineering.
