Susie's Mopeds, located in Friday Harbor, Washington, will be offering Arcimoto FUVs for rent in March. Current rentals include mopeds, scoot-coupes (a big bumper car), Chevy Tracker, and Pedego e-bikes. People rent these vehicles to do a 48 mile loop of Washington's San Juan Island.
“We are proud that our first demo rental partner in Washington is Susie’s Mopeds on San Juan Island, a true jewel of the Pacific Northwest. We believe there is no better way to take in the epic 48-mile San Juan Island loop than by riding an ultra-efficient, pure-electric Arcimoto,” said Mark Frohnmayer, Arcimoto Founder and CEO.
There is some question as to how Susie's Mopeds will deal with Washington's requirement for helmets and motorcycle endorsement. The Arcimoto FUV is classified as a motorcycle and has no carveouts that get around the requirements like Oregon and California. Florida has a rental program that averts requirements by governing the FUV speed to moped speeds.
