Trunk Questions

[Craig]

With so much concern over what will or won't fit in the trunk I'm surprised no one has mentioned the hitch-mount luggage rack again. Still think you could have a lot more cargo room by taking the back seat out entirely.

Elio said there is a possibility of a no seat option.......a fleet delivery Elio. Also, side mounted hard case saddlebags and a hitch option will make the Elio very versatile indeed and not impact the base $6800 in the slightest...........nevermind.

Probably could rig up a bolted down quick release for the seat. Then just pop it out when you don't need it.

Plastic or aluminum panniers like those fitted to touring bikes might be an option for those needing additional luggage space while driving "two up".

Don't tell this guy that to his face. LOL

They are certainly functional when needing extra storage for a long road trip.......and removable when not in use. Could be designed into the Elio's rear wheel fairings which look ridiculous too, but mpg functional.
