The road team has enjoyed a warm reception as they visit our neighbors to the south. After a quick stop in the Bay Area for a discussion at the Founder Institute, the crew continued south to sunny Los Angeles. WeWork hosted another great launch party in Santa Monica, a handful of early adopters took test drives, and the team visited companies working on some amazing future transportation technologies. The road team will be in the Los Angeles area through Monday and heads north for a stop in the Bay Area before heading home for the holidays.

We’ll be holding two public events in San Francisco this week – if you’d like to talk about the future of transportation and kick the tires on the new prototypes, please join us.

The engineering team has begun mapping out the improvements to the alpha SRK design as we prepare to build the SRK early adopter signature series fleet. Production-ready gear sets, long-range battery packs, tooled glass and plastics and a refined saddle structure will all be features of the short run of vehicles we begin producing in the early part of next year. This will lead into the deployment of a larger pilot fleet and finally series production vehicles targeted for the end of 2016.

The road team will get a little shore leave back in Eugene before heading out again for the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas.

We here at Arcimoto wish you all a very happy holiday season and look forward to an exciting 2016!
