During lunch at work, I ate 3 plates of beans (which I know I shouldn't). When I got home, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly, "Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight." He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as...
"your 'Odd Door' concept is the most positive improvement in the basic design"......
Yes, absolutely! My wife also felt the same way. A kid or younger person crawling over the front seat to get into the back is not so bad. It's a little tougher for older folks to get in and out over a seat...

Happy Friday Elio’ers! If you’re a casual fan of the Elio, you probably know the basics quite well. If you’re a hardcore supporter, you probably know most of the ins and outs of the vehicle. In today’s blog from the archives*, we’re going to review some...
This relates back to the Elio My Way. Elio is figuring on the first 65k to have an average price of $10,700 and that’s because of options. So having the listed options on top of what Elio has is not asking for much. If you want it, then get it. Since I have been using a reverse cam as OEM...
The rear seat was amazingly easy to access (5'-10, 145lbs.) felt "cozy" limited view.,
There is no "practical storage area. The E is a small vehicle for scooting around town or getting to work and back. Why folks continue to try and make it anything else baffles me. It's never gonna be, nor...
I've sat in the back of an Elio twice. It's OK and I can see why there's no use for a rear view mirror because you'd be looking at the rear head rest or the passenger. Plus, it doesn't seem like if there was a rear window, you'd see much out the rear even with the rear seat folded down. Thus the...
So, same old 7 colors/2 transmissions = 14 different configurations. The Marshaling locations will be assembling the options.
1. Customer orders car at store location. To keep this simple: Red vehicle, automatic, red interior trim panels, black carpet, lighted door sill, leather seats

DIY With Elio
June 1, 2018
Happy Friday Elio’ers! We hope that you had an enjoyable extended weekend and reached the finish line of a protracted work week with gusto. Today is the first day of June, a date that feels like the unofficial start of the summer. Even though summer doesn’t...
From looking at the chassis, you could make a 2” receiver hitch for the front and just have stick out right above the bottom lip of the radiator opening. There are two frame rails in that area.
For the pickup idea, just cut it behind the front door all the way down to where the body kicks out...

Happy Friday Elio’ers! It’s been a challenging couple of weeks for many Americans and we hope this blog finds everyone in the affected areas safe and with minimal impact. These storms have wreaked havoc, yet Americans are nothing if not resilient. It...
Thanks for a good review of the showing. Understand that while other manufacturers allow people in their vehicles unattended, Elio probably doesn't want people messing with the P5 as it isn't really up to snuff as a vehicle. Every time I've seen the hood, trunk, or door being swung or opened...
I went yesterday & my experience was bitter-sweet.......
- As others have stated, their placement at the show was absolutely horrible. They were LITERALLY tucked away in a corner away from the the flow of people. I was at their spot for probably 45 minutes or so and during more than half of...
It would also remove that part of the frame that acts as a roll cage above the passenger.
You would have to rework the unibody frame; the roof panel; the inner frame area around the opening, and the hatch.
and didn't we just end a conversation like this because there are so many other threads on...
Another new option for your Elio!

Yes but the back folds into an area that COULD be used for cargo. Remove the seat cushion AND the seatback and you can load the floorboard, where the seat bottom was and all the way through the hatch area. not that I'm looking to carry around a bunch of stuff but probably 99% of the time...
