In the Netherlands we have the Carver . Also a 2 seater but it's tilting , check it out . Great video .

[@georgeschneider8778]

Arcimoto has MLM and TMW. They are equipped with tilting technology.

[@neelyrichard72]

As always another great video. 👍 Thank you for sharing:)

[@mikelauer8592]

Nice… blew coffee across my breakfast…

[@dog11222]

You should give a warning before you say FUV......nearly covered my keyboard in coffee!

[@barniclebobca]

cant believe how well done your videos are.The music is majic as per what is happening and even Shawn has come around !!Good stuff from an old skipper from Vancouver Island

[@lynnewolfe7965]

Your videos are great - smartly produced, very informative. If you ever see us on the water - Selene 57 called Argo, out of Van Isle Marina in Sidney, give us a heads up - we'll have a cocktail for you!

[@m1k3droid]

So, an F.U. Vehicle? btw you should talk about the history behind american camp and the Pig War. Most Americans have no idea the US and Britain almost went to war over a pig.

[@tomandzack]

I took your advice to propose at the Cattle Point Light House! Erica said Yes!

[@jimrogers9253]

thanks folks for another fun episode! fair winds and following seas. Jim and Henry (the dog).

[@TimTacTV]

Thanks for this great video guys! (Arcimoto mechanical engineer here)

[@shovelhead4558]

Lavender is a antihistamine great for asthma also great for arthritis rub it on 😊

[@jamesarmstrong5651]

You guys are having so much fun, love the bike, trike

[@dannyparrish724]

Great adventure, thanks!

[@stevemyers2092]

what's with women and 40 pillows on the bed? I use 2....

[@mvfreedom]

That was Shawn’s idea 😂

[@michae8jackson378]

Maybe I missed it, but what is the range on that "vehicle"? Again, Happy 20th Anniversary you two! My wife and I had our 20th back in Feb '20. We went to NYC for it. She had never been. I grew up in Upstate NY. It was a fun long weekend.

[@mvfreedom]

Not sure but we went 50 miles. Susie’s said nobody ever runs out of battery on this trip.

[@georgeschneider8778]

100 miles range and can reach a speed of 75 mph. It is highway legal.

[@davidbrassfield6358]

How fun! Very Cool! Hey Elizabeth! Were you still wearing your helmet for the wine tasting?.....Safety first!

[@mvfreedom]

No I think it came off!

[@j-maxfromor1895]

Great video. I had fun watching you zoom around the island. One suggestion, at 17 minutes, the view of looking up at Shawn reminded me of the movie Top Gun. So suggest movie music.

[@AliG-iq4gd]

I immediately thought it was an old CHiPs opening trailer!!!! 8-)

[@Greggspies]

Figured helmet stayed on because wardrobe team wasn't available for filming ha 🤣

[@mvfreedom]

Haha hair and makeup took the day off!

[@peterdodge6563]

So look forward to your episodes- love cozy scenes on the boat as well as your “travelogs” on the hard.

[@m2pozad]

All chicks should be as upbeat and fun as Elisabeth, and all guys as handy as Shawn.

[@wizquack4505]

Some rubber mats will help your chain locker. You can also use truck mud flaps (cut them to fit). Stops the chain from beating up the inside of the locker.

[@bradjames6748]

It's also a former piece of British Columbia before the infamous "PIG WAR" involving the U.S. marine corps and the British Royal Marines way back when

[@TheDavidN]

"Best day trip ever." I 100% agree, and so much to see and do on the island. We lucked out and saw orcas at American Camp beach. Thinking next time we boat or fly in and take the scooters. Thanks for taking us there!

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

That FUV looks like it's built on the same frame as my Can Am Spyder which I LOVE SO MUCH!!!! Being disabled I can know longer ride two wheels. So my wife talked me into trying out the Spyder and I fell in love with it... When I have a good physically good day I like to crawl on my Spyder and go for a bit of a ride. I'm good for about 20 miles or so then my body says GO HOME!! But at least I got out and had knees in the breeze for a little bit... Glad you kids had a good time...

[@georgeschneider8778]

On top of the FUV, Arcimoto has a three wheeler TMW. You may check it if you are disabled. It is equipped with tilting technology.

[@beachbum200009]

Arcimoto also makes a Roadster. They are a startup company in Eugene, OR. Check out their web page or on youtube.

[@MrCobb-rq8iv]

Your'e still the best.........

[@AliG-iq4gd]

Another good one! Try Lavender honey - it is a HUGE thing in Provence, France !

[@tmac709]

The FUV looks fun to tool around in.

[@beachbum200009]

FUV is made by Arcimoto in Eugene OR. They are a startup company that make a variety of vehicles to buy or rent. Check out their web page or on youtube for more locations and info. The stock is FUV. When they get into full production the price of the vehicles will drop.

[@tmac709]

@@beachbum200009 I will check them out later.

[@ronhatcher7734]

Lavender honey is also delicious.

[@tedspeed3338]

I was just looking at class T fuses the other day. It looks like they are different lengths for different amp ratings. Also some show bolt in and some show slip in.

[@sungodspirit1502]

burn my dust and eat my rubber.... LMAO

[@guscarlson7021]

Please don't eat rubber, that's just wrong no matter how you slice it. ❤

[@jacksalisbury5218]

Fun blog! Thanks from Lake Erie.

[@cliffordb47]

Do you have any plans on getting a (seakeeper) to stop the rolling?

[@Linusgump]

They have a Flopper Stopper, which does help, but it needs to be deployed off of the side of the boat on the boom. I think in this case the waves came in unexpected, otherwise I’m sure they would have put it out.

[@mvfreedom]

No just the flopper stopper. We had planned to move on in a couple of days so we figured we’d just move on early and avoid the deployment headache.

[@jamesarmstrong5651]

Wonderful, we got married in that area, Pender Island,

[@richtidd]

I own an FUV. It’s my daly driver.

[@malcolmwillis6450]

Arcimoto FUV, had mine on order for 4 years.

[@James-seafan]

excellent video nice tour of san juan island

[@stephaniebeaton3939]

I think Shawn really enjoys all the projects almost as much as the cruising.

[@mvfreedom]

You’re probably right!

[@cranck07]

You DID leave the helmet on!?!?

[@Alogicchannel]

Safety first 😎

[@machtrebel2317]

Nice helmets ... 🏎 Style

[@michaelrhodes6033]

You guys are amazing, what a great day you had and shared with us. Shawn, I have said it before but you are so meticulous and thorough.

[@ronhatcher7734]

Great video! as always.

[@ronhatcher7734]

Great video! as always.

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

[@redislandar]

Hey guys! You always make me smile...and sometimes make me laugh. You have the magic. Have watched pretty much all of your videos and really enjoy your adventures as well as your everyday life on Freedom. Your genuine nature and light humour works for me...as does your love of animals and your respect for nature. Thank you for sharing. Say hi to Mr. Sully.

[@sdflyer1672]

Awesome video!!!!! 😎

[@Synaesthesia99]

inquiring minds want to know... @ 10:49 after all Shawn's had work, is that light really flickering..?!? (PS, Superb film-making! :)

[@Linusgump]

I think the flickering was due to the “shutter speed”of the camera (do digital cameras have a shutter?) Anyway, a few seconds earlier it wasn’t doing that, but panning over to the bright outside window and then back into the darker lit interior I think is what caused the flicker.

[@Synaesthesia99]

: @@Linusgump : Yeah, effectively, electronic cameras do have 'shutter' speeds, even though no shutters... and that *was* my hope as to the actual explanation ;~]

[@matttoly9773]

My wife and I spent our honeymoon cruising the San Juans a lot of years ago. In those days it was scooters and I remember a carnival happened to be going on out there. Great memories! Have fun

[@peterasacker5948]

Tinkering on a Nord seems to be the required activity...brings back memories of cruising up and down the East Coast on a Nord 50 yrs ago...great boats

[@randychase305]

Wait ... I'm a regular viewer yet this is the first I've heard about a haul-out and living on land. What's going on?!?!?!?!?

[@johnkroetch4559]

Nice Tour d'SJI. Thanks for sharing the ride.

[@patrickd.garvey2724]

How are you guys. We have a Jefferson 53 and a big need for a good mechanics on the islands. Sean could make a good living during the winter months. Pat

[@patrickd.garvey2724]

Hello again. Are you guys planning to go up into the gulf islands this summer? We plan to leave Roche mid August with a destination of Port Hardy and the Broughton islands. We plan to be gone for about a month. Hope to see you in our travels . Pat

[@jjgoel]

Loved it! If we ever go back for a Tollycraft Rendezvous we need to do that! Cheers you Guys!

[@tommy7451]

When I grow up I want to be like Shawn and just ride around on the water and know where the heck I'm am......... He is smart...

[@KentOlsen]

When you passed the Fairgrounds, there is a motorhome parked on the street. It has no license plates and is abandoned. Not sure what the city will do with it.

[@randybourdon2791]

If Shawn ever runs out of projects to do on Freedom, he’ll probably just buy another boat.

[@JessicaSimonson1976]

Looks like the cycle car that could never launch the Elio.

[@dlavarco]

Do you know if that is considered a motorcycle or a car?

[@mvfreedom]

Not sure 🤔

[@dylanpeterson6449]

Depends on the state... in most states its considered an "Autocycle". Some require motorcycle endorsement, some require helmets.

[@Genebaket]

Loved it

[@KentOlsen]

We have seen a few of those FUV's on the island. How is the view from the back seat??

[@eezycatfish569]

What would you guys charge to take a couple our for a few days to see what's it like?

[@allandoyle1809]

So where do the dogs pee when they're left alone?

[@mvfreedom]

They can go 6-7 hours without a break so we try to not leave them very long.

[@pilotdane]

I have not seen your Segway scooters lately. Do you still use them or are they not very practical?

[@jerryfrost4344]

That was one grand tour on a terrific ride - Shawn you should set up tip days on how to maintain a boat 😊

[@mikenelson1387]

Sean, how many days until Dino comes out of the bilge?

[@davidcoons]

We did that tour on the older two seaters on our last trip before we sold the boat! Great memories. What a great trip.

[@bryanfowler7202]

Great to see you guys having a ball, great photo's love your boat.

[@manfredseidler1531]

No water, no can do...bare bottom minimum, have to at least see water.

[@markrushton4631]

Now that,s a fun machine.

[@beachbum200009]

[@Linusgump]

Does that FUV need a motorcycle/tricycle license?

[@mvfreedom]

No, or at least we didn’t need more than a drivers license.

[@stephenfogard4684]

Yes, you need a three wheel license in WA. They restrict the speed on island, so it falls under moped law. Just a driver license needed in CA, OR, UT, NV, AZ, HI, LA, AL, SC, FL, NY and many other states.

[@johnanthony5931]

Be awesome. But power on islands is a big deal.

[@brianlowe753]

Helmet hair and I’m not taking it off.

[@guymanges3628]

Thanks for San Juan...

[@captainron3494]

Wondering do you need a motorcycle license for the FU ??

[@edquier40]

I am guessing on each state is different, but other 3 wheelers in Ca do not require an endorsement for motorcycles. Besides, we could just pull in somewhere's and ask for directions.

[@captainron3494]

@@edquier40 love it !!! Here in South Carolina I think u need a license but you don't have to wear a helmet crazy as that sounds... sometimes it's fun to get out & cruise without a helmet I do mean slow cruise

[@dobbsmovies]

In Washington you do need a 3 wheel license. They get around it on the island by limiting the speed.

[@stephenfogard4684]

Depends on State law. In WA you need a three wheel license and helmets. In OR, CA, NV, AZ, HI, UT, LA, AL, FL, SC, NY and many other states you need a driver license and no helmets.

[@captainron3494]

@@stephenfogard4684 see I have a license for moto but didn't know sc for 3 wheels u need one also Great to know and helmet laws should up to the rider.. I wear them 80% but cruise on beach or strip no helmets then but roads other than that helmets

[@georgeschneider8778]

How much does it cost to rent a FUV?

[@TimTacTV]

depends on your location. See arcimoto.com/rent for details

[@paulcunningham2859]

Fun

[@Ro-lq4hx]

Go fuv

[@dobbsmovies]

Driving an FUV without the top speed limited as it is on the island is a lot more fun. It’s such a great way to site see.

[@karenlewkowitz5858]

FUV - ?

[@randybourdon2791]

Fun Utility Vehicle.

[@Deke1]

FUV - F**K You Vehicle?

[@MrCobb-rq8iv]

That remark is totally unnecessary.
