Anyone having lived in countries where little tuk tuks are common or motocycles are common would not be surprised by this so much. The US is in dire need of embracing motorcycle travel that is actually affordable and easier on the environment kind of. This is an excellent solution that provides all the safety that a normal bike cannot provide.

The American personal car addiction is harder to kick than a heroin habit. Electra Meccanica just gave up because of lack of interest due to people hooked on over sized steel caged climate controlled lounge couches. I got my Arcimoto 16 months ago and just preordered a rental from Nimbus. It will come out in the next decade what a huge mistake those large obscenely over powered Teslas were. Each one contains enough materials to make 6 Nimbus Ones. So which one is sustainable and does not squander battery minerals?

Wow. First, this is the BEST Nimbus One review so far, hands-down. You actually let the founder speak and because of that I finally saw the charging port (J1772) and dedicated plug for the first time. Amazing. Seeing that, I'm pretty sure that my Tesla Wall Connector would be able to charge the Nimbus using a J1772 adapter. I would have liked to have seen the lockable storage compartment in the back. How does it open? How much space? However, you really pushed the Nimbus a bit and you're about my size so I could see how I would fit. I loved seeing you lean the thing and comment on that. It would also be nice to see the turning radius demonstrated, but I'm sure that'll come in another review. Great job! This morning I put a deposit down on a Nimbus One S, which has the top speed of 75mph, more range, and a fixed battery. I would love to review this myself!

I might add there's an additional rationale for owning: Recreation. It certainly offers practicality and urban mobility convenience, but I can see many people buying it simply because it's fun. There's a reason Arcimoto renamed their three-wheeler the FUV. Repeated test drives from a wide group of people kept yielding a common response... this thing is a blast to drive. It now looks like Nimbus has a speedier version listed on their website... the One S. That would be my machine. 🙂

Plus, I know I'm going to love the lean given my motorcycle experience.

This is much better suited to the British market than the Aptera. The Aptera is too wide for our roads. We need a narrow and enclosed two seater vehicle that can go as fast as a scooter but is suited to narrow roads and economic parking. Our weather is s#!t, so having a motorbike is for the brave only. I can honestly see this thing replacing a car for lots of people in the UK. I love this thing. It's awesome. Bring it to the UK.

@@arlenbell4376 Yes, but with the speed that the nimbus s can go, it's closer to a multi-purpose vehicle. All of these electric two seaters have their benefits, but a vehicle that can tick all (or most of) the boxes is what is needed in our market would be optimal. People don't want to have two vehicles (one for the city, and one for the motorway); they want one ring to rule them all. If Aptera were to have a narrower tilting two seater but engineer in the aerodynamics, solar capability and safety of the Aptera, it would be a win. I'm also interested in the idea of the city transformer (and a few other vehicles with adjustable wheelbases.. An Aptera/Nimbus style vehicle with a speed adjusting wheelbase could morph between small city car and and a larger, faster motorway/highway car. I know that something like that would have to compromise on weight, range and efficiency (ie. you wouldn't get 1000miles on one charge), but If I were an engineer developing these things, that would be the vehicle I would want to try to make.

It looks really cool and like a great idea. I hope to see them around and you get some ride share contracts with cities and towns. A paint or decal set which lets the vehicals perimiter stand out will help other motorists see and recognize the veehical type and not misjude it for a car or motorcycle. If it is painted white, including the roof, it will generally add to the saftey, vand visability of the vehical. And it will use less energy because it will be cooler and require less airconditioning to cool it when the air conditioner is in use. Most passenger vehicals should be white in warm climates.

Great points! The rear racks on the exterior could potentially double as larger storage space depending on how you mount it. On the website they feature a mockup of a large surfboard strapped to the roof and a cooler sitting on the rear rack. So I think there should be a few exterior options for carrying larger items. You would probably have to get creative with mounting instruments but I'm sure it could be done.

How long does it take to heat up the Nimbus??? i don't think this Nimbus would be good enough for snowy weather with the kind of tires it has on it.

Well of course it is not a family type vehicle with one and a half seats! Duh! Motorcyclists can use snow tires with studs or even spikes when needed. It is no challenge to design the heater with variable power output for heating and defrosting such a tiny cockpit. Covering the Nimbus when snow is likely, with a snug cover is so easy because it is so small with no protrusions. The safety of driving this on ice and snow is much greater than with any 2 wheeled motorcycle or scooter. That's not your problem, the question is how cold resistant the batteries are. Below freezing it would be smart to store and charge them indoors and not expect to have much power when they are cold. In Florida my concern is the AC.

Hi, we appreciate your support. We're currently concentrating on fine-tuning the Nimbus One by initially focusing on fleet customers. This strategy ensures that when we begin delivering to our individual pre-order customers, everyone receives the best version of the product, free of any early-stage issues. Our current best estimate for delivering the first vehicles to customers will be sometime in 2024.

I like that it's like the FUV but is more compact and actually has doors which is something I wish Arcimoto would do as removable, so you could have the best of both worlds. Nimbus has a great price point but I see this as a single person commuter. I just don't see the person in back being very comfortable, especially larger sized people.

What were the squeaky noises during the test drive? It would have been nice to see it so some left and right turns on the test track to simulate, city street tight turns. I saw this at the San Diego EV show in 2022 and it impressed me more a more practical three wheeler than the Archimoto FUV and Solo, both of which I test drove and the Aptera, which Inalso like, but might be too big and pricey, for what most people need.

To be fair prices have gone up that much or more for all vehicles over the same time period (even more so for electric ones). So it's not just these pre production start ups raising prices. That said, I bet it does continue up to at least 12k starting and 14k with bare minimum options that most people will want.

It's still looking good to me. This is where the EV revolution should be (small nimble vehicles) not with forcing car drivers to scrap their half-used petrol/diesel cars in favour of yet more expensive electric cars which actually have a huge carbon footprint. Until there are better batteries which are more eco-friendly, plus the non-fossil-fuel sources to charge them, large EVs will not be a valid solution. Micro EVs do make sense.

They're very different. The Nimbus leans into corners and has a short wheelbase and awesome design. The FUV does not lean. Which would you prefer? For me, the leaning is key, like the Carver One or Carver EV. The FUV is very long, and it's just under 18K (starting price). A lot more expensive, and about the same range. I'm an FUV and TSLA investor but man the Nimbus just looks incredible....because of the small size, fully-enclosed cabin, minimalist and futuristic design, and it LEANS. Easy decision.

@@popeyegordon Interesting. I talked to a guy who I met in a parking lot getting in his FUV maybe a year ago - maybe 2. He told me he was lucky to get 40 miles range on the highway. This was in the SF Bay Area. eg: Not cold temps. Here, you can't do 50 on the highways. You'd get rear-ended or shot, and there's a minimum speed limit. I'd go insane driving 50. I do a comfortable 65-75 all the.time, like most people. The speed limit is 65. For. me, 40 mile range on the highway is a deal breaker. If I want to stay closer to home, I can use my ebike. Or my Bolt EUV. The FUV is for "fun", but that includes going up and down the coast, and that typically means 55-65 on Rte 1, at least. 65-70 in spots. My sister lives down the coast about. 55 miles. If I can't make it to her house, then it's a desal-breaker. Battery tech will improve. I can see something like this in 5 years, maybe. I do like the Helix, as well - and it gets...200 miles? 150? Something like that. Granted, they haven't started production, still.

@@knotatraitor Now you have talked to a guy with a 2022 Arcimoto. I say your guy was lying. I have done 40 miles and got back with a 55% charge. Arcimoto commuters do more than that regularly without having to charge at work. You absolutely CAN do 50 on highways and have a positive effect on traffic as you get them to slow down to a sensible speed, while obeying any minimum speed restrictions that are typically 45 mph. Nothing is comfortable about 75 mph. That's called acclimatization to a hazardous condition. Route 1 is routinely driven by slow motor homes taking in the view, and many bicyclists. I have driven it 3 times. Route 1 in is notoriously NOT a fast highway and is curvy as hell. What you are insisting on is having it YOUR way only, forget everyone else including the sister you are stealing resources from, plus all future generations. Your ilk will be put under control by a Draconian carbon or mileage tax. Responsible people get the prodeedings from the penalties you will pay until you can't afford it any more.
