All In In Colorado

[pekatzu]

Hi everyone. I just went all in. I have had a Smart Car for 4 years and love it, and the Elio looks like the next logical step. Question: Will I need a motorcycle endorsement on my drivers license for this vehicle?

Welcome, the answer depends on state law next year.

Welcome to ElioOwners.com!

You are in luck as this year Colorado became another state where the Elio Motors Government Affairs team has already successfully pushed legislation into law so you do not need a motorcycle license to operate an Elio. As licensing laws are reciprocal across states if your home state does not require you to have a motorcycle license to operate the Elio then you can visit other states with it also.

Hi and welcome from Oregon, pekatzu. It is a pleasure to have you on board. There are so many interesting things to read, see and learn about our Elios that the time to production and ownership will seem to fly. I hope you will get as much pleasure out this forum as I do. Enjoy the journey. :-) Z

If you haven't seen the Elio, it is in Broomfield, CO at the Flat Iron Crossing Mall (I think that is the name) today, tomorrow and Sunday during mall hours. And it will be at the Taste of Colorado on Monday. Better see it while you can, if you can. I drove 7 hours round trip to see it in Portland, OR and it was so worth trip. I not only saw the Elio but connected with some wonderful members here and met other people who were seeing the Elio for the first time. It was a wonderful trip. :-) Z

Thank you. This is great news. I had a motorcycle endorsement for many many years then as I got older decided I would probably never need it again. So it is good I won't need to go through that testing again after something like 40 years.

Thank you zelio. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to Broomfield. I really would have liked to see it, but other obligations are keeping me at home. I will have to be content with looking at all the wonderful pictures people have posted here.

Welcome and congratulations on going all in. I see goofyone has answered your question about the motorcycle endorsement already. The forum has plenty of helpful friendly members so if you have a question, just ask. The forum threads will also provide the answers to nearly every question you can think of. Hope you find the forum rewarding, informative, and entertaining while we wait for production to begin on our Elio's.
