The Arcimoto Ramp It Up event is today at 2022-02-22 2:22PM. Maybe it's about the Platform 2?

FUV is at a 52 week low of about $5, down from the all-time high of $32.

Maybe I can throw a couple bucks at the stock to help it out.

What's the shortest path from cash in my hand to Arcimoto stock? Maybe visit a stock broker downtown?

Most banks do stock transactions too. If you bank over the Internet you will be minutes away from owning stock.
There are cheaper alternatives, but you will have to do research then.

The stock went down, and I buy on downs. Owning 86 FUV as of today. Not much but not nothing. FUV will always be a risky investment, but it is a toe I like to have in the water anyway.

Well there's the problem, I haven't used bank since I don't even know when. Decades? Maybe four.

I've asked Arcimoto why I can't walk into their office and throw down cash but they just say "you will have to do research then".

I buy/sell on your behalf, with a distributed ledger authenticating the note of ownership.

Your interest was just enough of a nudge that I set a $5 limit order for 20 shares. Not a big gamble, but just enough to be interesting.

Arcimoto Special Event - RAMP IT UP!

So far.... The Mean Lean Machine is 3WD human/electric serial hybrid.

edit: I noticed your simulpost. You may be just enough to nudge me into crypto. I feel the need for a dedicated machine. Air-gapped as it were.

Driverless delivery trike

Arcimoto and Faction team up to produce a driverless delivery trike:

Well, not really driverless. More like an augmented RC car. Still, one way to progress as driverless technology evolves and gets more and more autonomous.

Their robovalet concept is autonomous when unoccupied while it unparks or travels across town to the end user. This concept just dispenses with the passengers.

The thing I like about the Mean Lean Machine is that it is functional as a stationary bike. The worst part about getting exercise on my bicycle is exposing myself to Danger in traffic intersections. Not sure what it means if my top speed triples. Less exposure?

Probably the same exposure because the most often excuse after the accident is: "I didn't see him"

Otoh, making it glaringly visible has the same effect.

Might be slight increase in deacceleration damage.

How in this day and time are you avoiding banks? My SSAN payment has 2 options: check or direct deposit.
