The "nice rack" jokes just write themselves......

One man show, I know, but I really was looking forward to body panels being fitted.

Bird didn't get the message to just stay down, lol.:pop2:

I believe it has been stated that his initial intent is to sell 10, 000 units (I'd consider the first run as Founders Editions). If that's still true, then I don't think he'll have an issue selling 10,000 manual trans units. Then he can take the profits, such as it is, and roll that into funding...

If they have to be imported knocked down anyway, I'd certainly consider driving anywhere between Charleston, SC to the East and New Orleans, LA to the West (might consider Houston, TX as well) with my truck and a trailer if the price difference was significant enough.

I voted yes. Definitely yes. And congrats on the go-carting! I have been anxious to see that, and the video certainly did not disappoint! I think it has been mentioned elsewhere that shipping and assembly cost is a concern about running up the price. I'm youngish enough to consider the option...

Mark, Have you attempted a test body panel fitment to see how much the front is going to have to be modified to accommodate those struts? After seeing the front view it's got me curious.

For me, the main things that attracted me to the Elio were the enclosed cabin (meaning heat and air), the price (10K - 12K is what I reasonably expected), the fuel efficiency, and the motorcycle (turned autocycle) designation. Secondary considerations were a reasonable fit and finish, safety...

The biggest concern to me around this is how are these batteries recycled? If the numbers of EV cars on the road ramps up as predicted, this is going to be a big problem. I was reading some about this the other day. From what I can tell, currently there's no good way to do it and few places that...

I wouldn't expect your average Harbor Freight employee to know anything more about their products than which isle to find it on. But even that isn't always a given. It's not their fault really. There's just too much stuff for them to possibly know anything about most of it.

After seeing all you are doing on this build, I wonder about your definition of "handyman".

I am really anxious to see this thing reach the go-cart stage and scoot around the parking lot (or car park, whatever you call it where you live).

Assuming a reasonable looking fit and finish on yours, given the choice between the Elio-E and your BEX, I'll choose BEX.

It also says 150 miles of range on the web site: TECHNICAL FEATURES INCLUDE: 150 Mile Range Elio Safety Management System that includes three airbags, unibody frame, Anti-Lock Braking System, and Electronic Stability Control Front Engine / Front-Wheel Drive Top speed over 100 MPH Tire Sizes...

Unless some announcements happen real soon that actually show us a running and driving electric version I'm not going to get too worked up about this. If they are just starting the engineering redesign, then I'm going back into hibernation concerning Elio.

My bet is that they will treat this as a completely separate vehicle. The $1000 you put down is for the gas model. They might transfer your deposit to the new electric one but I wouldn't bet on them honoring the old prices, locked in or otherwise.

The new web site says "standard 120V outlet" charging

I have not looked myself but some on FB were saying the SEC filing says they decided to go electric for the first model and are trying to re-engineer?

Tapatalk doesn’t seem to like the new software.

You may be aging yourself by using the term “fan belt”.
