The HMV Freeway got by with a 16hp Tecumseh and a Comet Torq-a-Verter, and it got pretty good mileage. Is it crucial to have an expensively engineered bespoke engine for the Elio? I like the motorcycle engines that have been proposed, something torquey from the heavier end of a manufacturer's range would make for low-stress cruising and be better suited to accelerating the Elio's greater mass.
+1 on the capacitor hybrid, even better for accelerating.
