There is another multi multi multi page thread that covers that from every angle that you could imagine. EM already has a company contracted to do the transport and manning of the Retail Centers and Marshalling Centers; there are no dealerships.

...to worry about it. I like the idea of "dressing it up", tho. Maybe Carbon Fiber wrap the bulge, along with the mirrors, gas door, wheel covers, interior panels... OR...go "old school" with the "Indian-style" fenders, Mooneyes wheel covers, old school pinstripes, wide-white-wall tires, and a...

White lights looking forward and red brake and turn signal lights on the rear of the wheel covers make a lot of good sense to me. The more you can be seen the better off you are. IT MAKES MORE THAN SENSE . IT WILL BE A SIZE INDICATOR FOR OTHER DRIVERS AT NIGHT . WITH ALL THE LIGHTING ON THE...

I believe Paul did mention that up to 90% of the Elio would be made is USA. Wheels would be a very small part of the overall cost of the Elio I would think

...one of the TENANTS everyone keeps referring to? I mean, I hope we aren't headed down the slippery Wal Mart slope of cheaper means more sales. Maybe they'll let me buy mine sans wheels, then I ban put Foose wheels on mine (after I remove the wheel covers). Maybe US-made wheels will be an option.

...little complicated. There do appear to be five chassis, although their number sequence is obscure. I hope they ordered a couple of extra wheel covers while they were at it. I guess what I was looking for in the survey was either completion or at least active visible progress. The bare...

I see a problem right away....It's "front-wheel drive"! Back to the drawing board. [But that's just me 'whining ;). Man...I kinda like this thread! :D ']

OOPS!! wrong thread for a practical suggestion. Gas cap thingy may have merit.:rolleyes:

...highway speeds. Centripetal force or centrifugal force or centipede force... something will keep it driving upright. Yeah, pull those wheel covers right in against the body so aerodynamics works better. And, for the love of Pete, put the gas cap right in the middle under the license...

(Elio Motors Engine = EME) We haven't paid much attention to one issue, the combination of selling the 100 pilot run Elio's along with the world sales of the engine for other applications. I would think this gives a viable ongoing business profit/business model. If that covers the loan payments...

...I've heard say something about the taillights. Painted wheel aprons? Are you talking about the black sections on the rear of the front wheel covers and the rear of the Elio over the wheel? They are plastic; that would be easy enough to spray paint to match the body color. As for coming body...

You hit it right on the head with the jackknife issue. That and the fact that on a motorcycle the rear wheel is the driving wheel while in the Elio it just supports weight. (This is almost making proper trailer loading with an Elio sound like a weigh and balance problem in a light plane.) The...

I'm thinking about that... a bug-like appearance? I'm not sure how that would pair up with the Elio styling. Even the image I uploaded (from my 3d file), could stand to be more style compatible. It is the same body width as the Elio, and wheels a bit more wide. But I guess you were thinking of...

...are cool enough for me to start. I bet once early adopters hit the streets, so will ELIOPHORIA. Then, we will see after market custom parts. After all, it will be the American Peoples Autocycle. We'll have dozens of custom front wheel covers to choose from in a year or two. Am I excited...

Had some of that stuff back in the day for our flight deck helmets. Also had green, orange and white [shop colors]. That stuff really "popped" with the slightest amount of light hit it. Might still have to check with state and local laws on what's allowable color-wise. Red for sure is good...

...flightline. It glowed very energetically at night when lights shown on it. It looked like a really bright grey. If the rears of the wheel covers stay black (I'm surprised the configurator doesn't have "color coded fender openings front/rear" as choices yet), it would be a good choice to...

Where did you hear about the fenders from?

I too like the optional fenders and wheels but the optional purchase does not allow you to keep the original fenders and wheels Elio said so I am going to skip the option for now. I wanted both. Plenty room for this option in the after market. I was also concerned about wheel protection and...

Common sense based on experience! Thank you!
