There's tons of ways to lay a bike down that aren't even crashes. Arriving at an intersection and putting your foot on ice/gravel/pothole. Once a few hundred pounds of bike starts falling over, it's going to go over - though that's less of an issue with something this size. As far as bike...

When I'm curious, it bugs me till I find an answer

In 2009 their target was "Under $7500" Source In Feb 2010 their target was $5995 Source In March 2010 their target was $5900 Source Post with more info here.

Interesting to hear - when talking about the automatic - the emphasis on just under $1k

Actually, that's slightly better than I predicted. We were at ~45/day as of the last announcement, this one is at 40/day. The rate of decrease is decreasing. If it levels out, it won't be far below where it is now. At the current rate (without any major news) it looks like 38.6k reservations...

10 Pep Boys locations within 33 miles of me, closest being 2.1 miles. Showroom roughly 3 miles, depends where they stick it. Looks like they've been modifying the proposed store locations list - I notice York PA is gone, no idea what else has changed.

I seem to remember them saying it could only be used for gasoline, and would have a limit of something like $500. I'm sure there will be other options to pay in, specifically a minimum monthly threshold that must be met (which the 13k mile scenario above likely wouldn't). Otherwise people would...

The thing is, someone would pay more than that for just the frame as a base to build their own toy, as I recall several people on here have said. Selling the thing so close to the cost of the base components means it can't go very much lower.

That picture was taken in 2008 at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, Italy.

I feel like this plan is going to take the average person a LONG time to pay off using only the card. I commute more than average, around 76 miles per day... Using the Elio for JUST my commute with the gas card option, I would spend about $82/month of gas (or $247 charged), $164 of which would...

I think used Elios will depreciate more like inexpensive motorcycles than typical cars, and that's not all that much. Speculating is very tricky at this price point. They'll have to sell far enough below a new one that someone can't justify the extra bucks for new, but at the same time they...

That picture was taken 6 years ago. Unless she's 11 in the photo, he's fine to call her at this point... Though he may go broke with long distance charges to Italy trying to track her down!

If that were true, I'd buy a second full set of panels of a different color that I could swap in on a whim.

It's also possible that the course where you take the test can't accommodate the size of a trike. I know in PA you can take the MC test on a trike, but not at every location. Here's a sample test course (Australian, but first one I found with measurements): (Source) And with an Elio...

I don't know if I would consider it locked, but it shows that even their target number isn't expected to include shipping. This isn't unexpected, I just hadn't actually seen a separate destination charge confirmed anywhere - not that this is technically a confirmation.

Another - more optimistic - possibility is that it would be a very strategic move on Elio's part is to wait and release the numbers the day prior to or the day of a big news update. If you anticipate a noticeable spike in interest and you want to emphasize the impact it has on reservations...
