I built and have a Blackjack Zero (FWD 3 wheel reverse trike). It's the only fuel injected Moto Guzzi version in the world. It is probably on the other end of the price spectrum. I've been building and fixing things all my life. I know good and bad engineering, quality and junk. I am certain that for the price of an Elio, if it can be done, it will be junk. Just the electrical system on my Blackjack Zero cost $3K. I get 37 mpg and ride it hard like a race car. It makes driving a Mini Cooper seem like driving a mini van. It's a cross between a go kart and Mini Cooper at 1,050 pounds. It's a chick manget, but I'm happily married. See Facebook Blackjack Zero if you are interested.
