So, you really believe Elio will some day "roll off the production finish line"? How can something that does not exist (Elio) be a better value than something that does (Arcimoto)?
I agree with you but don't forget how much fun it was for the past several years hoping it was really going to happen. I guess I must not learn from past mistakes but I just put in a reservation for an Ampere due for delivery this year. I will not be throwing away my Elio tee shirts and bumper...
I agree 100%. I will be awaiting my Elio until I get my Solo. It doesn't cost anything more to hope there will be an Elio some day. I already have the expensive Tee-shirts and devalued stock. Arcimoto also let me down with the release of their Evergreen model at almost $20K rather than he...
Colorado is in the process of redefining an Autocycle and they are removing the requirement for airbags but keeping the safety belt requirement. http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb17-1044
Unless they use one like this - https://www.amazon.com/CORVETTE-25926479-Factory-Keyless-Replace/dp/B00HQ8QK7Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486744885&sr=8-2&keywords=corvette+key+fob
If Elio was serious about saving money why would they select a $1000 Viper steering wheel vs. a $300 Camaro version. I do think they made the right choice. I like the flat bottom Viper wheel and would pay extra for it if it was an option.
I'm looking at my Elio to replace the Harley I can't ride anymore due to back surgery. And if Elio does not happen I have a reservation on an Arcimoto SRK which really is a motorcycle where I live.
I started out my driving life with a cheap car, it was a 1951 Henry J. A very poor excuse for a car. It had a flat head 4, Got poor gas mileage, could hardly make it up a hill. The one good thing about it was it broke down so often I got a good education on car repair. My dad and I had to change...
Tax credits don't help many people since they do not make enough taxable income to take advantage of them. That makes the out-the-door price $33k and that is way too expensive for that car.
This is a good site for info on contacting elected officials https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials. It looks like Perry has not been confirned as secretary of DOE. At least the DOE web site does not show him as the secretary.
I recently had an electrician install a sub-panel in my basement. When the local City inspector came for the final inspection, he made a comment "Since John A. did the work I know it was done right." He still gave it a look over but made me fell comfortable I picked a local electrician with a...
Are we even sure Elio will have an OBDII compliant vehicle? There was some past discussions and if I remember in one of the many Elio videos someone said it would be more like what is used in India to keep the cost down.
Then I'ts a motorcycle in Colorado and requires A motorcycle 3 wheel license or a motorcycle endorsement on your Driver's license plus you must wear eye protection and if under 18 a helmet
In Colorado there is definition for autocycle that states " Currently, most self-propelled 3-wheel vehicles may be considered motorcycles under the "Uniform Motor Vehicle Law". This means, among other things, that a driver must have a motorcycle endorsement on the driver's license and wear a...
This reminds me of the people that got up-side-down with their home loans after taking out all of the equity. The Feds stepped in and tried to save them from themselves. Many people have been conditioned to not being responsible for their own decisions and think others are responsible if...
For many years I used a pivot stand when I wanted to work on my Harley Fatboy and needed to get the wheels off of the ground. I'm certain one could be modified for specific use on the Elio https://www.amazon.com/Venom-Adjustable-Motorcycle-Pivot-Center/dp/B00IKSKXLK
