I’m pretty jazzed for this. It’s inexpensive enough to have one for the daily commute and still have a bigger vehicle for when you need one.

Better get two, one for each foot, and a skate lock key.

I’m thinking the same thing. It would make parking a lot easier.

I imagine this thing with tread marks on the roof and a lower profile.

Yet another three-wheeled “car” with a motorcycle type engine.

This isn’t some technological breakthrough, just a redesign of the outer shell of an old concept.

What would be revolutionary is 87 mpg, seats four comfortably and has exceptional range.

Anything less is just a marketing gimmick.

From the Elio website: An inline, 3 cylinder, 1 liter, 70 HP, fuel-injected, SOHC gas-powered, liquid-cooled, automotive engine.

So where is the 84 MPG coming from?
