Who ever heard of EXPERIMENTING with dubious, dangerous modifications!!!?
Detune! Detune down to milliwatts is say! Then push it up hills!!

So if I have this straight; these are discontinued.
Discontinued like there's a higher power at work..?

Kinda like GM EV1?

The higher power in this case being a short squeeze in the stock market. And the CEO was busted for a DUI in downtown Eugene, and a new CEO was brought in.

IOW, your usual corporate shenanigans.

What I hear, but haven't driven across town to confirm, is that there is a residual work force of eight in the old AMP location servicing the existing fleet warrantys. And the food delivery service Faction's robots may still be active.

OTOH they seem to keep their value fairly well, www.cycletrader.com/Used-Arcimoto-Electric/motorcycles-for-sale? currently shows three, at $12.5, 10.5 and 8.5K.
