Early supporter of vision to produce
ultra-efficient electric vehicles gets a personal visit from
Arcimoto executives as Company continues delivering on its
commitments
Arcimoto, Inc.® (NASDAQ: FUV), makers of the world’s first Fun
Utility Vehicle® (FUV®) — an affordable and practical pure electric
vehicle for everyday commuters and fleets, today announced it has
hand-delivered its first Signature Series Fun Utility Vehicle to an
external customer. The vehicle was delivered last week to
well-known Hollywood actor Nathan Fillion in Los Angeles. Fillion,
best known for his roles as Richard Castle on the ABC series
“Castle” and Captain Malcolm Reynolds on the cult Sci-Fi classic
“Firefly,” is a long-time supporter of Arcimoto and its vision to
catalyze a shift to a sustainable transportation system.
“You know, I am probably the luckiest guy you'll ever meet. I've
said it more than once that my dreams come true, and since I was a
little boy I've always wanted a spaceship. And here we are,”
Fillion remarked when his FUV was presented. Back at the
'spaceport' after his first drive, he continued, “I’ve told myself
many times on that last stretch down that ‘one day I’ll be driving
down there in my Arcimoto’. Well done. Really well done.”

“This delivery to one of our most vocal supporters is a
rewarding capstone to an incredible year for Arcimoto,” said
Founder and President Mark Frohnmayer. “In particular the past
three months have been a whirlwind for the company, from successful
completion of our IPO to delivery of two FUVs to paying customers.
Nathan’s delighted reaction and giddy first drive reminded us of
one of the many reasons we started this venture, and we look
forward to more smiling faces as we scale up production and
continue delivering FUVs to early customers.”
