    Elio Insurance - Cost. - General Discussion And / Or Specifically Advanced Coverages.

    The latter is the better scenario, provided the design of the vehicle isn't so bizarre/unusual that nobody outside the dealership knows how to work on it. Elio is using some very standard designs which are even less complicated than many other vehicles on the road today. I don't have any...

    Options And Upgrades, Cruise Control, Etc...

    Let me preface this by saying let's not let this become another fuel door thread. But I was looking at an interior photo of the P4 and noticed the cruise control buttons are on the left side of the wheel, with the right side unpopulated - does that annoy anyone else? I feel like all the cars...

    P4 Pictures

    I found a post on ecomodder.com by a user named Neil Blanchard that had a link to some quality photos he took of the P4 at an event. Here's a link to his album

    Elio To Replace Newfmobile

    My Miniature Pinscher will fit fine, but I'm betting he will find the window placement and lack of opening frustrating.

    The geek in me keeps trying to find a good recursive acronym to use. E.L.I.O. Elio Lessens Import Oil

    Web App For Guessing Production Date

    He's got that much covered with regex at least (var numPattern = /^[1-9][0-9]*$/;) I did find with a big enough number I can bug the script (endless while loop?) and crash my browser, which is fun :-) I was actually surprised how catastrophic that experiment was.... -C

    Elio & Motorcycle License

    I have mine so I haven't researched extensively, but I know at least in PA you're allowed to take the test on a trike - with the limitation that not every test center accommodates trikes and you have to go to one that does. This would be even more true in the Elio, I imagine. Motorcycle test...

    9/16/14 Tour Blog - This Stop Los Angeles

    As the Elio is technically a motorcycle, that means lane splitting wouldn't technically be illegal in the Elio in California. Though I can't imagine many scenarios where it would be safe...

    Elio Insurance - Cost. - General Discussion And / Or Specifically Advanced Coverages.

    I'm thinking in terms of what I'm expecting near-term. My guess is that the algorithms the actuaries use to determine risk etc don't support autocycles yet. If I were an agent plugging data in for a quote, I'd probably have to select something like "motorcycle, 900cc, make/model other" maybe...

    Elio Insurance - Cost. - General Discussion And / Or Specifically Advanced Coverages.

    Some cursory search results come up with everything from 350-1800/year depending on company/coverage/history/location etc. Can-Ams also cost significantly more.

    Elio Reservation Map And Survey

    I'm a bit busy to fuss with this any more - but that heat map is by county (I think) which is not very granular. Also, I'm not sure how the reservation map is handling overlap E.G. 2 people who give Baltimore as their city would likely display as 1-pin in size.

    What Happened To Yellow?

    Thieves typically steal the most common colors, not the rare ones. If you're trying to drive away with a 1.5 ton piece of stolen metal, you don't want the one that stands out.

    Welcome to the forum! Production numbers are currently only being released to people who have $1000 All-In reservations (as those are the only folks who's position in line won't change). Elio sends out mass emailngs periodically with the 'next batch' of production numbers, the most recent of...

    Comments From A Mechanical Engineer

    Just gotta make it powerful enough to right the vehicle when it goes off ;) Edit: In all seriousness, wouldn't Elio's low center of gravity make this less of an issue? It wouldn't be as balanced upside down as a traditional car might be so less likely to end up in that position - and far...

    Reservations: 65341 As Of 6/20/2017

    My numbers are coming from Elio's periodic announcement of reservation numbers. Your number (33820) is an order invoice number, not a reservation number. People who upgrade from 100 to 1000 (or do any other transaction for that matter) are also given a unique invoice number. Additionally...
