I don't think it will be too long before many more states jump on closing the "motorcycle" loophole. But I don't think it'll be the Elio causing it, rather, the Polaris Slingshot.
I can't say I'm against it. These things are clearly designed as cars, not saddle & handlebar bikes with a sidecar or trike conversion. I do think the emissions/safety regulations should not be as strict as for full on automobiles though.
