Elio Competition?

Saw this article for a small electric 2-seater. Looks like it could be a lot of fun!

Does not look like that much fun, 35 mph max, and illegal to use on the streets in many areas.....

The Arcimoto has much better specs and looks for under $20K.

this could be fun in one of those golf cart villages... where there's no weather change... sunny a hot most of the time...

if I want a Electric car... I will just wait and buy another Elio... the electric model will be coming in 2018-19.. (just guessing)

It will still be cheaper then this electric golf cart.. PS... 2ndrew... love your Elio half-track...

When I said "fun", I wasn't exactly thinking laws, and I WAS thinking ideal weather. O well. And yeah I'd still much rather the Elio.

I haven't heard of anything made, to compare, and you would be hard pressed to beat the deal you get from Elio. Now if it only pans out.

I have been convinced since January that it will happen. So far everything Elio has done has reinforced that impression. :-) Z

The Elio is a whole lot more, for less money/ My opinion that Eco-Cruser is UUUUUUgly!

The diesel Ford Fiesta gets about 72 mpg, but right now it is only available in Europe..... If that ever comes to the USA, I think Elio should counter it by offering a Diesel option as well... I'd guess it should be able to top 100 mpg if Elio were to do it, if the Fiesta can do 72 mpg....

I'm more interested in seeing if the automakers will take the dive into this new segment...once the Elio takes off in popularity, I'm thinking the auto industry will almost have to get into the game....imagine Elio-like vehicles from Toyota, Honda, and the big three...more choices = better for consumers!
