Management Commentary

“This last year has been an incredible challenge for us all,” said Mark Frohnmayer, Founder and CEO of Arcimoto. “It makes me all the more proud to stand alongside and witness the truly transformative accomplishments of this venture. Through pandemic shutdowns, disruptions to supply chain and travel, catastrophic wildfires, and devastating personal losses, this team has made giant strides toward the achievement of the Company’s vision.

“As we look to the year ahead and emerge from the pandemic, our course is clear. 2021 is the year Arcimoto will lay the groundwork for its next decade of growth. As we continue to deliver ultra-efficient, ultra-fun rides to our customers, we aim to lay out our full product family roadmap, and demonstrate the technologies, markets, partnerships, and production systems that will together fulfill the company’s mission to catalyze the shift to a sustainable transportation system. We look forward to sharing our road ahead on today’s update webinar.”
