Judging by the information on the Electraflyer website, much of the information at the blog seems to be wrong. The $18,385.00 price is not for the pictured Electraflyer C explerimental plane, but for this open-air frame tricycle with fabric wing:

It is that tricycle that weighs only 247 lbs, not the experimental plane (the Electraflyer C), which is based on an "all metal Moni motor glider".

The Moni was first introduced at the 1981 Oshkosh Convention. It was designed by John Monnett and sold as a complete kit including the engine and instruments. ... Approximately 380 kits were sold between 1982 and 1986. It is unknown how many Moni's have been completed and are currently flying.
The manufacturer of this neat little airplane, Monnett Experimental Aircraft, later INAV Inc., went out of business in 1986.
