Elio Fan
This is the kind of vehicle that I want to drive. I used to ride motorcycles but gave that up while i still ll had all my limbs: the traffic and weather here in South Florida is not really conducive to safe motorbike riding. My own actions didn't really help either, suffice to say I'm lucky to survive intact and in one piece.
I see more people riding scooters, and that seems really dangerous on these roads too, they just don't go fast enough to be able to get out of the way or take evasive action. But what can people on a limited budget do and be safe? Hopefully Elio can be part of the answer.
And living in an apartment a totally electric vehicle is an impossibility. And hybrids? Just too complicated and expensive. So I am keeping my fingers crossed for the Elio.
I drive an Element which gets fair mileage and is now over 10 years old, so when I read about the Elio now I can't wait to get it drive it. It is amazing how some people I talk to say that you can't drive something like that, something that only has three wheels and the passenger has to ride in the back. But 95% of the time I am the only one in the vehicle as are most people I see driving to and from work in their Expeditions and Tahoes. For me - a passenger - my wife in this case - can ride in the back - just as on a bike.
As a thought - I remember many years ago growing up in England people pulling up to our auto parts store in their bubble cars - I particular remember with affection a couple in a Messerschmidt and a friend with an old Morgan 3 wheeler. So kind of open minded to alternative methods of transportation.
Sorry to ramble on so much, Tony
