#781 and on deserves it's own thread. One of y'all could ask the mods to peel it off.
Meanwhile.... www.youtube.com/results?search_query=arcimoto. Short squeeze?
I picked this example because the Deliverator in the thumbnail has a semi-skirted rear wheel. One step closer to that full boat tail*.
*How about a ducted fan[less] behind the rear wheel Jetoptera-style? Turn that turbulent wake into thrust.

If the boat tail provides some extra space for luggage, I wonder to which extent a 3rd motor at the rear wheel might become desirable to improve traction due to changes on the weight bias while (over)loaded. |

As long as the load is not heavier than the batteries and motor it should be fine as it is. You would not want to do a wheelie anyway.

Suddenly everything makes sense!
[That request is #781]

No way. The intention would be to decrease the likelihood of a slip while starting uphill driving on a rainy morning in Porto Alegre  and eventually improve regenerative braking. |

I thought it was a[FWD] joke. A tricycle wheelie?
Except that the load is over the single wheel, a tandem bogie would suffice.

Even though a wheelie seems nearly impossible to do with a reverse trike, who knows if someone wouldn't be willing to try? This is Brazil, there is always some idiot doing wheelies on public roads (it's not a problem when done on a closed track, but on public roads it may pose as a danger to anyone else around).

While a tandem bogie could provide a better support to the weight loaded and increase stability, an extra motor would still provide a better traction control while starting uphill driving anyway due to weight transfer while accelerating. |

So what are Arcimoto's production numbers? 100? 1000? 10000?
How many of these things are they actually turning out now?
