Accessories We Want, But Can’t Get

At the RAMP It Up event on 2-22-22, Mark Frohnmayer reveiled several FUV accessories we can’t get quite yet and 2 that they are releasing soon. Half hard doors will become available along with a dual golf bag carrier soon.

Doors will be trickling out and available for new orders. Evergreen owners that paid for doors 2 years ago will get them fit over the next several months. At 9 minutes, 50 seconds into the RAMP It Up Event video you’ll see the doors discussed.

Doors are coming … someday for the Evergreens

Golf bag holder will be released soon. They are shown at 11 minutes 25 seconds into the event video. Notice it can hold 2 bags. Even though most golf courses will likely not allow you to bring the FUV onto the green, at least you can transport your equipment to the parking area. Not sure if you can install doors and the golf carrier at the same time but my guess is “no.”

Sturdy golf club bag carrier

Sometime in the future we might see a seat caddy. The caddy holds the passenger’s phone, water, and other small necessities.

Also in the future we might see a pouch that sits on the hump between the driver's leg. There are strong magnets to hold it in place along with metal eyeholes that you can optionally use to secure it with pre-existing screws. The pouch can hold your registration paperwork, sunglasses, phone, etc. Or it can keep you from marking up the paint as you drag your foot across the tunnel when getting in and out.

Sure to be a favorite, the grocery carrier hooks in within seconds and becomes a second hold for your stuff. Also works as a stable small dog carrier assuming you have doors and hook the dog's harness to the seat. Another sometime in the future item.

I've seen a seat belt frame protectors that simply velcros on to keep the metal belt buckles from chipping the paint on the frame. 

All these future products have prototypes that were made many months ago. The hold up seems to be finding fire resistant, good quality ballistic nylon. As an OEM, Arcimoto can get sued for accessories that can cause injury. With only 500 FUVs on the road, they are unable to take advantage of lower material costs through mass production. Thus the cost to make these items could run 2-3 times more than what people are willing to pay. Estimate cost-to-produce on the seat caddy alone was $75.
