Manual Or Power Steering?

[Craig]

Wow, haven't seen anything like this since the parades in my home town where there were about 50 guys in funny hats driving these things & various other miniature cars/gocarts.

You know you are low when your front tire causes a blind spot.

I am in the same thought as some of you I didn't think it needed PS. I think the reasoning behind it might be to suit elio to all age ranges and physical disposition IE limited strength or mobility.

This one may have you beat.

Yea, but I don't need a can opener to get my feet out of the car.. although I could park like 5 of those in my garage if I stacked them up.

I guess everybody is missing the point. It was not listed as a standard feature previously, but is now listed as one of the standard features on the first frame of the official website with the red Elio. ????????

Yes I understand that and was under the impression until now that the Elio would not have it as it really is not necessary for such a light vehicle. We will have to wait until someone gets to ask them directly for some clarification about whether this is a new addition, a misprint, or something that was not communicated very clearly in the past.

I understand your frustration. When you posted this the first time I could not find the statement you mentioned. It took 2 more tries to find the statement. Unfortunately I can't help you because I have never been able to read those floating "billboards" fast enough to get the entire message so I don't know if it was on there before or not. It is definitely on there now. I guess we will have to wait for clarification just as goofyone suggested. Anyone going to the next show - please add the question about power steering to your list. Thank you. I hope that helps, Frosty. I also hope you had a happy birthday last week. Z

Just sent an inquiry to Elio regarding it. Will post the answer as soon as possible after it arrives.

That's great. However, I hope you won't fret if you don't get an immediate answer. I look forward to hearing the results. Even though I am a little old lady, I honestly am not concerned about needing power steering. Of course I may regret that statement once I try to parallel park the Elio since I certainly can't pick up the back end and move it like a wheel barrow. LOL :-) Z

Now there's an idea!
