I sometimes wonder what happened to the BEX. Maybe Mark had a falling out with the Commies and they shut him down. Or, and this is worse, he did something they really didn't like and he's setting in a jail cell somewhere living on fish heads and rice. It's kind of hard to feel too sorry for him. He left his homeland where he had human rights and moved to a dictatorship where he was just a number... and not a very important number at that. Kind of makes me think of the relatives of missionaries who go to Africa to preach to some native tribe, and then the relatives are surprised when the missionaries are eaten by their congregation.

If built, the BEX Mongrel would be considered a motorcycle. CFMoto is a Chinese company selling (street legal) motorcycles & side by sides in the United States.

If the Chinese government is OK with CFMoto doing business here, I don't see why they would have a problem with Mark selling a similar vehicle.

I doubt the problem would be with the vehicle but more likely with the "attitude" of the person selling it.

Latest update is you can have this pic of an Elio for $835K. Down from just under a million back at the beginning of the year.

Take about $35k more off the price and it puts it at the average for one story homes that size in that area.
Do those houses have a pic of the Elio on the wall? That has to be worth something.

Looking at fundraising, I wonder if he could auction it off as an official Elio rendering that was in Paul Elios house. He could also sign it. That has to be worth something. Maybe enough for him to get an Elio out on the road. Do a road show and gather interest and then crowdfunding.
