We Spent Two Weeks On The Arcimoto Roadster And Fell In Love (Short Cut)

Last year, we got to try out the Arcimoto FUV for the first time - and we loved it. It wasn’t trying to be anything other than itself, and we found it was the perfect runabout for quick, fun, errands. https://youtu.be/NfSNs90N-Ms Then, last summer, we got to try out the Arcimoto Roadster for the first time at the Arcimoto and Friends summer event at the Portland International Raceway. https://youtu.be/Evz5wzLtv9c But one spin around the track isn’t enough to get a real impression of a vehicle - so in late October we had not one but two Arcimoto Roadster to play with for two weeks. Here’s our thoughts in this quick review - including why, even with some of its flaws, we feel the Arcimoto Roadster has earned the “Hide It” status (a status we give a vehicle when we love it so much we want to hide it so we can keep it).
