Mccune, welcome to the forum, the best source for information on the Elio. As you can tell we try to be a friendly and helpful and you can have confidence that Zelio has given you good information. The forum will provide hours of information and entertainment and I encourage you to begin by checking the links that appeal to you. Enjoy the journey.
Actually you should read the the bill Zelio posted a bit closer as that law specifically exempts autocycles, such as the Elio vehicle, from all motorcycle laws by excluding them from the definition of a motorcycle. As of January 1, 2015 autocycle type vehicles, such as the Elio, will no longer be considered motorcycles in Colorado. As such all motorcycle specific laws, such as the law requiring those under 18 to wear a helmet while on a motorcycle, do not apply to this type of vehicle.

You're right, I must've missed it. I read this years Colorado Revised Statutes a couple of Months ago, when I first saw the map showing Colorado with the limited helmut law. CSP buddy told me the same thing.
And on further review, it says it became effective July 1, 2014! I'm guessing no one has run across this situation yet? Good to know, but now Elio can update their map, right??
(Edited because I've been up since yesterday after noon, and can't spell or switch pages back and forth worth without hitting "enter" worth a dang!!)

I just received a response from eliomotors. It's great news!
We were successful in getting autocycle in definition and exempted from helmets and m endorsements in CO. Passed unanimously within 30 days of introduction! Good to go!

Joel

Elio should update their map!
Not to nitpick but just to avoid any possible confusion. While the law itself is effective July 1, 2014 it does not become applicable until January 1, 2015 so until that date the old laws are technically valid and enforceable.
I am starting to get a bit scared as in the last six months on this site I have read through so much legislation and regulation that the legalese is actually beginning to make sense to me now.

From my understanding that is one of the main reasons for the delay in applicability built into many laws. It gives the various agencies time to update their materials and regulations based on the new laws.
Hey McCune welcome to the Elio family! We're just a hop, skip and a jump away from you, in Arvada. Looks like your question was answered, which means the Elioites here are on the ball!
Z, Goofyone, and Bert good job! While our only child is an adult, we do have two grandsons. Grandma won't have to buy helmets, but the boys might be a little disappointed!
