My biggest problem with the Elio is I think they are sucking up all the oxygen in the room killing off possible competition by making claims that can't be met and having the claims believed. So maybe we would have 4 other 3 wheel tandem reverse trikes by now, but they did the math and came up with a $14,000 price and 55mpg and figured no way they can get deposits along side a company making $6800 and 84mpg claims.
Maybe I should start a reverse trike company with a $5000 price and 100 mpg using baking soda in glass jars as a hydrogen fuel cell. I would just make one and then blow the money on a really nice fake penis because cocaine is bad for you.
