Where Do You Stand Now?

"Life is short, and then you die. Hopefully not before you get your Elio."

yes reid3400, that is my only concern......

ELIO must go into production. As a motorcycle is the easiest way. Then once they hit the road It would be a lot easy to show the stupidly of requiring helmets and even a motorcycle endorsement .

Exactly! thank you for saying what I was thinking

Ditto!

One of my vehicles gets 8mpg, @ $1 per mile including all costs.. The sticker on the rear window says, "Life is more than MPG." The electric scooter goes 50mph and costs $0.01 per mile. Who cares? Life is short, and then you die. Hopefully not before you get your Elio.

I like your last 2 sentences..lol

Don't have yo worry in Colorado, it's a done deal, no helmet, no motorcycle endorsement.

Problem is if you leave Colorado you must have the endorsement . Colorado's exemption does not apply to any State except Colorado .

interesting .... I thought that there was an interstate reciprocity agreement that means a legal license to drive a given vehicle in their home state is legal in all states .... I can see there being a variation in helmet laws

Nope case study for you Alabama . They did not require a motorcycle endorsement. FL just loves to grab them when they cross into FL.
Many have tried that argument and all failed. If you get the Alabama endorsement then the reciprocity is in effect without it there is no agreement.
Alabama is the only state with No required motorcycle endorsement . They messed up the law last time so it is not in effect. You can pay a fee and get an endorsement if you want.
No endorsement from you state you are not legal in any other state. Argue it all you want that is they way it is.
If your state exempts ELIO great but once you cross the boarder that no longer applies.

I'll just pick up my car at the factory and drive like hell out of LA in the shroud of darkness -- hate it down there anyway. Hot, sticky, with bugs the size of pelicans and snakes in the swimming pools.

Have to pick up the car somewhere, because Elio can't sell them in Ohio. and they still aren't saying anything about that inconvenient truth.
