Elio 1:32 Or 1:24 Model

Yep, I'd go for a 1:24 scale.

We had something going a few months ago (Arilea design and G1 3D printer), and I believe there was a few legal issues with Elio Motors. Might want to check with them before you go "all in" on the models just to be safe. If you get the "all clear", I'll take two! 1:24 scale please!

My nephew got a 3-D priter for his birthday. He made a tiny bust of Kim Jong Un

I said he should make a dictator heads chess set.

The first on is G1's and the 2nd is mine.

BTW......can I get mine with a molded dash of conventional gauges and not that ugly elgin thing?

I find the suggestion that there might be a legal issue with a toy car that someone might copy and make a real, similar, autocycle of, at some point in the distant future, extremely amusing! The chuckle alone was worth the effort to date. I can see the toy company's legal team staying up all night to produce a defense. I must admit, I have not searched trade marks or patents in the past year plus, as in past searches on 3 wheel vehicles drew a list of vehicles, but not one whisper of an Elio.

So what are you saying here?
That you don't respect EM to the point of not caring about their permission?
And to the point of laughing at the very possibility that they might take action for not getting permission?

"...entirely amusing! The chuckle alone was worth the effort to date."
So not only are you laughing at the poster's experience and advice, you're basically laughing at EM too?
I was going to say, "Of course." to the offer, but after seeing the true colors of that post, Nope. Keep it.

Go to the top of this page. Click on "Search Forums"
follow the instructions & enter: Elgin dash. spend
next few days reading the hundreds of similar
questions & responses, etc., re. the "Elgin Dash".
Or the simple answer is: The Elgin Dash is currently
the only dash that will be standard in the production Elio.
The current company line is there will be no 'optional
dashes' offered by Elio. But that doesn't eliminate the
aftermarket..........this is a bone of contention, but not
as serious as the funding issue, that's for sure........
