- chisleu 11y agoI wish it wasn't vaporware. :( I wish the best for them, but that 84mpg is an estimate for an engine that hasn't been built yet and might be outdated by the time it gets produced. (If it ever does.)
- crucini 11y agoNeat. I notice 2 of 4 pictures show inclement weather, which is probably to show their advantage over motorcycles. Since in general a 2-wheeled motorcycle is more enjoyable than a trike. Can this thing provide the crash protection of a normal car? If not, why not get a normal MC?
- nosuchthing 11y ago"Each Elio comes equipped with a Safety Management System that includes three airbags – a reinforced roll-cage frame, Anti-Lock Braking System, and 50% larger crush zones than similar vehicles. "
- greglindahl 11y agoThe main reason people build 3-wheeled cars is that they don't have to provide the crash protection of a normal car.
- sumedh 11y agoIs it just me or does anyone else feel that it does not look cool
- RankingMember 11y agoCool concept, but man the background image of it driving that 3 wheeler on a rainy road covered in wet leaves looks like it'd be a scary experience.
