The center head lamp is a USA motorcycle compliance requirement.
How is Elio getting around that requirement? I think I just don't like it because its round and looks old fashioned. If I imported a Carver, would it not be street legal because it doesn't have a center headlamp?

No... I guess page number is a terrible thing to reference... look at post #66.
Got it.
Looks like it never went beyond kit phase.
So it was a DYI Special, dam, that thing could have been cool with some additional R&D.

Only two 3-wheelers have ever gotten around that Ken.The center head lamp is a USA motorcycle compliance requirement.
And both had side-by-side seating configurations.
One was the Tanom Invader @ 83.75" wide.
I'm not aware of what the other one was.

What did they do in the T-Rex?

Good catch. Judging by the pictures, that must have been the other one @ 78" wide.

Yep, always liked that one. The California Commuter Car, it was one that first inspired me into 3 wheel design. Cool thinking around Steering, and a very lay-down position. Around 1980 I actually wind-tunnel tested a model of that one against my Taddy. He came out something like .245 And my Taddy was .20. At least he built his, I never completed the skin for mine. He sent me a free copy of his plans because of my interest.

I was thinking the same about the Can-Am Spyder and Slingshot, but those look to have center lights.
