Hey look, it's another quirky, three-wheeled electric vehicle. This time, we're talking about the recently-revealed Arcimoto Pulse, a tamdem two-seat electric car that looks something like the Zap Alias that's been through the chopper. The company's website says that the trike uses a 96-volt power system and a DC electric motor that puts out 80 ft. lb. torque. The vehicle has a top speed of 55 mph and a range somewhere between 50 and 100 miles (the number has an unexplained asterisk on the Arcimoto website). Arcimoto, based in Eugene, Oregon, says the Pulse gets an estimates 190+ mpg, but how they arrived at that number is anyone's guess. Price ? Not set yet, but it will be "under $20,000" and can be reserved with a $500 fee ($450 of which is refundable). The first 300 Pulses are due late next year.
