Towing The Elio / Towing With The Elio

[zelio]

Response to my Mini Mate Camper querie:

"Hello,
Thanks for your interest in our camper. As long as you can find a hitch for this vehicle, there will be absolutely no problem towing our trailers. We have customers pull them with a Can-Am Spyder which is similar to the Elio, but even smaller."

There you have it. Now all I need is my Elio and a hitch, oh and the money to pay for all of it. LOL :-) Z

An element is as aerodynamic as a barn door. Nice vehicle, but not very good at punching a hole in the air.

Actually I compare the aerodynamics to a 'loaf of bread'!

Thank you for your prompt response. Since I know my Elio won't be available until next year I didn't expect such a quick response. I have made sure other people on the Elio Owners group know about this camper.

Thanks for passing on our information. We would love to see one of our trailers behind this vehicle!​

From Elio Motors website, Suppliers tab:

Options:
Eastern Catalytic will have several options for performance and stainless steel exhaust systems as well as an entry for the trailer hitch.

It only took me a couple of weeks to figure out how to copy and paste this information even after someone was so kind as to tell me how to do it. My problem was I knew what to do on this end but not on the other end. Sigh! You know, growing up is really hard to do! :-) Z

Now can someone please tell me what this means?

Sorry, no info on the site about a hitch.

I got a "content not found message" so I don't think that is going to answer my question. Or are you telling me it is a stupid question? LOL :-) Z

This is the direct link to what you copied: http://www.eliomotors.com/eastern-catalytic/

It is not very clear however I am guessing as an option Eastern Catalytic plans on manufacturing a trailer hitch receiver which is what you need to mount the ball.

Thank you for saying it is not very clear. LOL I thought I was really missing an important point. I guess it is safest to assume we don't know the whole story until we actually see what it means. LOL Thanks, goofyone. :-) Z

It was not just you. Eventually we will see an options list where this may be explained.
