I'll guess that the frame and undercarriage will be dipped in a corrosion-prevention solution that bonds to all metal areas. That's pretty much the universal system used these days, rather than old-fashioned spray coatings that can miss protecting nooks and crannies. I believe the protective...

Uhhh... I think that goes on in the Oval Office whenever there's a Cabinet Meeting.

This is an excellent suggestion!

Home! I'll fly or take a bus to Shreveport, then drive home to Northeast Georgia.

I really expect they'll hit that $6,800 target on the initial run of pre-reserved autocycles. It's in their marketing interest to bring the Elio to the public at that low number. They can begin to inch upward in future months. The media value of that low starting price will be incredible and...

At goofyone's suggestion, I dropped a note to Joel Sheltrown, Elio's VP of Gov't Affairs, asking if he knew Georgia's position on whether a MC license will be required here. I got an immediate response, which seems to be good news. Here 'tis: I believe the language in GA already exempts for M...

"My other car isn't a car, it's an Elio!" Alternately: "My grandson just beat up your honor student." "My son was inmate of the month."

Commuting to my home brewing shop five days a week, and maybe occasional playtime in the North Georgia and North Carolina mountains.

Actually, a number of cars now come equipped with headlights that move in the direction the driver steers. So government (our dear friend) doesn't seem to object, I'm guessing.

Good observation on the shaking. Very valid. I'm not sure the weight would be of much consequence, though.

Unless the sender is a gender pretender. Somebody stop me!

Went all in for a grand on June 28th... Got my reservation #5443 two days ago.

I was thinking about Elio's headlights this morning, and had an idea. Is this workable? My thought is to design headlights aerodynamically into the top of outboard wheel fenders. That would space them to fairly average width, giving perspective to oncoming traffic at night, and would also...

I don't know the answer to this question, so I'll toss it out and see if others know: Are motorcycles (remember, Elio is a motorcycle) subject to any safety regulations and required crash tests, etc.? I realize Elio Motors will voluntarily be safety testing, but I don't know if gov't requires...

www.mybrewheaven.com is the link to my shop in Gainesville. Thanks for asking...

Thanks for the links! And it's nice knowing there are other Elio "owners" so close by. I'm an old dude (as almost 70) who still loves tricking out cars, so I'm looking forward to modding the Elio a bit when it finally arrives. I've got a suspicion there'll be a lot of tweaking going on, from...

I'll probably try for B'ham in August, if business permits. I own a retail store for home brewers, and getting away can be problematic.

I'm in Gainesville, GA and went "all in" last week, after following the Elio for several months.
