Arcimoto Srk Vs Elio

[Rickb]

Interesting Right Foot Down comparison of the Elio and SRK. The authors written review after seeing both vehicles at the New York Auto Show. Different vehicles catering to and attracting different market demographics. Go Three Wheels!

Mirrors perfectly what Jerome said about Arcimoto when I talked to him in Chicago. He said that he hoped that they did well, and that they did not see each other as direct competitors. Personally, if I didn't need a vehicle for anything but running around town, I'd seriously look at an Arcimoto. My only reservation would be using it in a Northern Illinois winter, the primary issues being cabin heat (the side panels would be a must) and degraded battery range.

I agree on questioning the functional year around use in a 4 season climate, but at least the SRK base model has heated seats and side mirrors. Paul Elio coined the term, "Go Three Wheels", when referencing the Elio and SRK as future vehicle choices.

I'll tell you how they are identical: I can't buy either one today!

The good news is that we have progressed to the point that we can at least test drive the SRK. Also, both the Elio and SRK Alpha vehicles are apparently in the build stage......to be followed by testing. I'm ready to take delivery on either.
