Who does that dead horse think he is?!

"as of this summer, Elio Motors reported having only about $4,000 in cash remaining."
https://jalopnik.com/why-this-job-st...tor-1797854222

At this rate, before long, I will have more cash than Elio!

I would be quite happy if some rich guy sued these guys into oblivion.

Mr. Elio went from a debtor to raking in a quarter million every year, so it's all good. :/

Very long article from Jalopnik today (might be the same one) reported a bleak picture. As time goes on pretty sad. It also said Paul Elio was making $250,000.00 at another job. Maybe pop out 10 Elio 3-wheelers from his home workshop in Phoenix; you never know!

Just a little brutal. I think his hopes and dreams exceeded his ability to market and adapt this thing, rather than any kind of scam

Maybe we will see shell kits come out of this. In the mean time I like the Arcimoto trike.

I suspect the shell panels could be adapted to a Vetter Freedom Machine for a motorcycle. The price would then be realistic and the mileage three times better. I suggest that our state legislatures could amend the laws so that a trike that meets FMVSS for roll over, windshield, and passenger restraint be exempt from helmet use.

I don't know how it works there in the U.S., but in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Colombia there is no helmet requirement for trikes as long as they have a roof and seat belts, without any rule concerning rollover.
