My name is Mark. I live in Santee. I like the reverse trike idea especially with tandem seating. It is an idea who's time has come. I'm ready for something just like this. Very happy with the concept. I'm surprised one of the big players hasn't hit on this. Suzuki is probably watching. Anyway I'm glad someone has stepped up to the challenge. The mileage and price claims seem exaggerated, weather they are true or not, and probably hurting the overall effort. I'd rather see more believable figures promised there then if better then promised figures are met all the better. But overall I'm looking forward.
And perhaps you should do a little catching up on the current happenings at Elio Motors before posting statements as you did.
The search function here will take you to a number of articles and posts that can show you how close they really are.

I think it should have been 74MPG and $7400.00...Easier to accomplish.
It will get 75 MPG in order to meet the ATVM super efficient vehicle definition. I believe the last report was 81 MPG with the new motor in the P5 which is 400 lbs. overweight and which uses a heavier skin. They may actually exceed their target MPG.for highway milage.
