Elio Fan
Hi Folks,
My interest in the Elio was 1) support a fresh idea and 2) fill a need for efficient (and fun) xportation for runs to town. Currently I run a 4WD F250 with it's gas guzzling V10. Some runs to town don't need such a rig and the Elio should work. I had to scrutinize the set up as to whether it would handle the trail in and out until I get to the county road. I think it'll do just fine so a $100 commitment was a non-issue. The trail is actually a logging road for 1.5 mi., quite steep in some places and rough the whole way so the Elio would be for the dry season only. The unit will surely get some rock dings and the suspension will probably start squeaking within the 1st year, but we'll see. The front wheel drive is what convinced me, however, I'd love to see a limited slip option.
Maybe the Elio team would want to do a case study? Anyway, I'm hoping the delays are less of a problem and looking forward to good news.
Best,
JRH
