    Why Not License Out The Production Of The Elio?

    That's right. Elio is going to build the engine in Shreveport. I would guess that selling the engine can't happen until Elio Motors outfits the plant to produce them. As for licensing, that's a hard sell since other companies make their own 3 cylinder engine for industrial use. Unless the Elio...

    Why Not License Out The Production Of The Elio?

    Talking about engines and since someone mentioned Rotax, why didn't Elio just use this 3 cylinder, 900cc 60hp unit? They fit in snow machines and jet skis, it certainly would fit into an Elio. They even make it in a turbo model with 154hp. From what I can tell, this family of engines have been...

    My sister in law has seen a big cut in her stories she writes to get paid for. It's because 10 years ago everything was fine. Write a story, present it to various websites, they would have an editor check it and then they would take it with her getting paid for clicks. As of today, it's articles...

    Why Not License Out The Production Of The Elio?

    The SEC keeps them from reporting anything, even profits or losses. It's no surprise that they didn't report anything. What is legal is of Elio Motors would change their name to Elio Blockchain. Then the price of their stock would skyrocket just like Long Island Iced Tea which became Long...

    Elio has virtually crashed and tested their car but it was back in 2015 with the wrong chassis. So, I assume the SEC keeps them from releasing any video on crash testing with the new unibody, thus the reason why you won't find any info on it. If you read the blog, it's more forward thinking and...

    Virtual crash testing is like virtual car design. You do it virtually, build it physically and then test it to see how it compares to the virtual world. As for the IIHS and NHTSA, they could care less about virtual, they do real destructive testing. It's that the NHTSA sets the minimum standards...

    Why Not License Out The Production Of The Elio?

    Elio took care of that issue back in May, 2016. https://www.eliomotors.com/elio-motors-linamar-sign-letter-of-intent-to-manufacture-and-market-the-elio-engine-across-the-globe-press-release/

    They have virtually crashed the Elio against a brick wall. That's good enough for everyone.

    Since we are talking about insurance, doesn't that mean that the insurance industry might charge more for an autocycle over a car just due to the increased amount of damage? Plus, a Morgan, Vanderhall and SRK are not 365/50 cars. Only the Elio is. Then for the Solo, you can't just pack up and do...

    Why Not License Out The Production Of The Elio?

    Just don't confuse licensing with contract manufacturing.

    Since we are talking about insurance, the IIHS has brought up a good point about bumper height not being the same for cars and trucks. What about autocycles? I also wonder because the Elio is half the width to get double the mileage, but what happens when there are the traditional rear enders...

    Why Not License Out The Production Of The Elio?

    The original question was this: You answered with two products that were already finished with the R&D that were ready to go. The ARM is licensed for manufacture by others and can be customized. As for Electra Meccania they too have finished their R&D, sold a few to the general public and now...

    Nfl Football 2019 & 2020

    We were pretty pumped. I'm not a big football fan but this year has everyone going. Best part it, in our area, you can be an Eagles, Jets or Giants fan and that's good enough. All I know is this. My neighbor holds the Superbowl party and that means that I will spend the first part of Sunday...

    Remember, the Elio has 4 front fenders and no right door. Someone hits you in the right side and that will entail much more work as opposed to if there was a door there. Then the front suspension has an upright, upper control arm, lower control arm, pull rod, tie rod and inner lower control arm...
