Elio Addict
Agree with everything you say above. I would not hold my breath on the hope for using the Elio for the driving part of a test. When I took my motorcycle driving test this past summer, a couple of the requirements are not possible if a person was driving the Elio. For example, on one test, you had to drive at about 12 mph and swerve at a certain line on the road and miss a cone that was over a few feet. Easily done when your tires are in line on a motorcycle, can't be done when your fronts are approx. 66" apart.
It's confusing, isn't it? The Elio is a motorcycle, so you have to have a mc license, so you have to take the mc driving test (and written test), but the driving skills test won't allow you to pass it if you are driving an Elio.
It varies from state to state. The problem comes in in these states that require a two wheel mc for the test is there are a lot of people out here who due to spinal injuries can no longer balance a two wheel. No problem in the Elio.....
