    Canoo is excited to announce their preorder reservation system is now open with a minimal $100 deposit. Canoo Inc. has stated that their first BEV will be their Lifestyle vehicle launching in 2022 with a targeted pricing of starting from $34,750 and rising to $49,950 for delivery, base and premium models before incentives or optional equipment. Pickup Truck and MPDV scaled production are scheduled to begin in early 2023.

    CEO and Executive Chairman of Canoo Inc. Tony Aquila states the following: “It’s no longer a question of whether America will go EV – but when. Our line-up is future-forward and succeeds where others have struggled: Giving people the EV that works smarter for them at a price that can work for their budgets. That’s why we are designing for flexible use cases and focused on productivity solutions,” “We are designing for people who work hard, play hard and need something reliable, that will last and give you value. We’re for the 99% not the 1%. Our vehicle line-up is built for the backbone of America – to give you value so you can work smarter.”

    Designed as a cabin forward to maximize interior space and function with exportable power and customization options is what the Canoo Lifestyle Vehicle is all about. Available in four trims: base, premium, adventure and Lifestyle Vehicle Delivery. The Lifestyle Vehicle is the ultimate multi-tasker designed for the family that is constantly on the go. Without the need for an engine compartment, the Lifestyle Vehicle features the unique street view window for improved driver visibility.

    The Adventure trim has more ground clearance with a muscular profile. The bumpers are enhanced along with the auto having metal skid plates added for increased vehicle durability.

    Canoo's signature headlights and taillights serve as a core brand identifiers without the need for a logo.

    The companies proprietary and highly versatile multi-purpose platform architecture will under pin all models from the Canoo lineup of BEVs. The Lifestyle Vehicle has the interior space of a large SUV with an exterior footprint of a compact car and is made for urban, adventure, families, fleet, ride hailing and more.

    Anticipated specifications:

    • 300 hp
    • 332 lb-ft of torque
    • 250 miles of battery range

    Ready for work or play, the electric pickup truck is an ALL-AMERICAN made cabin-forward, steer-by-wire technology design built on their modular multi-purpose platform architecture. The truck has an extendable flatbed that Canoo believes will compete with America's best selling pickup trucks on a smaller footprint allowing for an easier to maneuver and more convenient to drive. The pickup truck was designed for all users with features that work from on-site jobs to out in the woods comfort. Exportable power, advanced exterior lighting, fold down worktable, cargo storage, flip-down side-tables, sidesteps and storage, extendable bed with space dividers and multi-accessory charge ports.

    Anticipated specifications:

    • AWD or RWD motor configurations
    • 500 plus HP
    • 550 lb-ft of torque
    • Payload capacity of 1,800 lbs.,
    • 200 plus miles battery pack range

    The MPDV or Multi-purpose delivery vehicle is designed to maximize return on investment for a wide range of commercial customers (fleets) and yet still keeps small business and families in mind depending on configuration.

    The MPDV was built with last-mile delivery companies in mind initially. High efficiency with class leading cargo space offer cost savings allowing businesses to reinvest and thrive. From independent contractors, tradespeople, utilities, service technicians and more.

    Bi-directional onboard charging maximizes functionality and transforms the BEV into a power plant for equipment and tools that can be powered even in remote destinations. The vehicle was designed to accommodate workstations to store and access a variety of devices, products and equipment.

    Depending on configuration, anticipated specifications:

    • 200hp
    • 236 lb-ft of torque
    • 250 miles battery pack

    Pricing, features, and performance metrics are all estimated and can change. Final vehicle specifications will be revealed at production launch.

    I see Canoo is under a full SEC investigation...

    Yes, seems all the EV startups that are going the SPAC route to public trading are being reviewed by the SEC as they do not want another Nikola issue. Lordstown is also under the same SEC fact finding investigation.

    One thing I do find interesting is that the new CEO replaced the past existing CEO last month for undisclosed reasons, but the old CEO was in the office on a morning and by that afternoon was out of a job and off the company property. Something clearly was up there. Be interesting to see where it ends.

    The "pick up" is actually kind of neat (reminds me to the VW microbus with PU beds) but the rest is a mess IMO.

    I can see how it does have it's messy points, but then it also truly stands out from the other trucks with a clear idea of functional lifestyle living. I would like to see one in person and sit in one as it might just be a very roomy, versatile auto for the suburban family.

    I forgot that these even existed.    I havent seen that many in my lifetime, maybe 2. Or was it the same one that I saw twice. I saw it when I was a kid.  Anyway, thanx for the blast from the past!  

    EDIT:  Yeah, not that you need any validation from me, but the Canoo version DOES look a lot like the Veedub!

    • While I really like Panera's concept and vibe, their pirtion control is, literally, for the birds.
    • You’re thinking in purely North American terms. China and Middle East still have decent sedan sales. It costs Genesis next to nothing to put a couple of these on a boat to the US with some GV80s. The boat is already headed that direction anyway.    As for coupes and convertibles, these are just concepts for now, but as platform flexibility increases with the move to EV, I think we will see he return of lower volume body styles like these.
    • This looks so freakin great.  
    • Well kids, today's lesson is: Just buy the effing tool you need. Last weekend I took the R1100RS out on the longest ride I've been on with it. A total of 5 hours of wandering. Even with 109k miles on it, this bike just loves to chew up highway. The engine runs superbly.  I was really trying to burn off gas that's been in the tank a little long for comfort, but even with 5 hours of riding, I have more than half a tank left! No issues on the trip except I noticed that the right fork was leaking oil.  These are telelever forks that don't actually have any suspension components in them. The shock and spring are mounted on a cantilever platform between the forks.  Essentially, all the forks do is slide up and down and keep the wheel aligned. When I got back from the trip, I ordered a set of fork seals and picked up fork oil. Watched a few videos on the process and decided I was set. ALL of the videos suggested that I could get the oil seal out with a flat head screwdriver. Both my Haynes manual and the BMW service manual I have said to use an oil seal remover tool. You can see where this is going. I effed with that oil seal for a good hour with a flat head, some long needle nose pliers, even some plastic bodywork tools I have before I gave up and drove to Harbor Freight.  Harbor Freight has an Oil Seal Removal tool for $7.99.  I got that and a few other things that I decided I might need to try also. Got home and with the tool I had the oil seal out in 15 seconds. . I replaced the seals, topped it off with some fresh fork oil, and had it back together faster than the time I spent just trying to get the damn seal out. So, moral of the story is: Just buy the damn tool.
    • Based on the pictures, it would appear what went into the EV9 has been pushed out to the other EVs in Hyundai and Genesis based on the pictures. If so, then a decent set of physical switches for the most common features and a very user-friendly thought-out interface imho. I like this new updated design much better than generation 1. I am very excited to see what comes of the next 18 months. Seems to be a weird assortment of some companies are investing in the U.S. to ensure market share gain and production with minimal tariff affect like the 21 billion Kia/Hyundai/Genesis are investing and then others are cancelling plants like Ford and GM. Then you have the Europeans that have come out and stated they will have a Tariff line cost on each auto now with no changes in production as I think they are figuring 47 could be gone soon based on recent video of him and his leg dragging, slurring of speech and freezing in talking and someone else will have common sense to set fair trade negotiations and balance the craziness out.
