Elio's time has come again?

Please refer to everything before the colon.

I see my mistake. Thanks for mentioning it. I did talk to Elaphae last year at CE about this unsprung weight. They agree it's an issue for sportscars and supercars. On the other hand, the biggest issue they run into is, the running of high voltage wires and coolant lines to the motors as to why companies are hesitant. The unsprung weight seems to be internet forklore and not the real issue. With them working with McLaren, this is what they are mainly working on because they know if they can get a properly engineered plumbing and electron flow to the hubs, it will take off for regular consumer vehicles and not the super high performance ones.

With Elio Motors now based in Sweden, anybody been to his Casino and see if he's raising enough money to get this going again? It sounds like a solid business plan.

This indeed looks like the end......

This is a way to raise funds and get Elio back on track. The 65K people that gave money to him still support the project. So that means something. He's just going to use his Swedish Casino money to bring Elio back and deliver on his milestones and goals. I see it happening. With Arcimoto not paying taxes, we can consider them dead and thus a better chance for Elio to succeed.

Lit Motors. I heard they are coming out soon. You can also pre order one. I bet that after 15 years of R&D they must have it perfected. I like that they will not sell a vehicle before it's time.

I'm going to open a Lit and Olympian Motors dealer. Best of startups that are getting so old they need a new classification. I think AARP startups.

Hey 3wheelin, hope all is well. My favorite 2wheelin concept! I had a $500 deposit on the Lit C-1 years ago……fully refunded. I could hope, but doubt it will make it to production status. I haven’t seen a running prototype screaming around the test track.

And to you as well my friend. I know, it's really sad, good concept, working gyro on one of their prototype version, just didn't have the funds to see it through.
