Elio Addict
Good thinking there. I agree. While there are some parts (bearings come to mind) that will have to spin as much as in a larger car, the fact that the Elio is so light will make that burden seem like nothing.I really don't think the Elio will be as fragile as some people think. Quite the contrary. Most all the components will be "heavy duty". Why? Since the majority of the mechanical components are "off the shelf" parts designed built and proven to be reliable on cars that have twice the weight and twice the horsepower as the Elio will have the effect of being overbuilt in the Elio application. The only real wildcard is the engine and possibly the few suspension components purpose built for the Elio.
