Arcimoto found 5x larger production base in Oregon
Arcimoto, which makes funky electric trikes, has announced that it has agreed to purchase a new manufacturing site in Eugene, Oregon. Spanning over 185,000 square foot (about 17,187 sqm), the new factory is more than five times as large as Arcimoto’s current production facilities.

Arcimoto then began building a trike. The small EV has since come to fame as first responder vehicle and intermediate crash car of Tesla boss Elon Musk.
