The location of the gas tank is the most worrying thing for me.
Think Cg. The absolute worst thing for the Elio would be to have it become unstable in a double lane accident avoidance test.
The people who built the Trev admit that even with the 45kg battery (~12% of the 350kg total) it needs the Cg to be moved forward (toward the two front wheels), since it gets unstable at speed when a second person is onboard.
