Eli Zero... Eli0? Really???

[Maurtis]

Saw a link to this on the Sondors FB page and thought the naming was... interesting: https://www.eli.world/

Pretty much an enclosed golf cart, but the name made me giggle. If Paul is not involved, they really should rethink the name.

Top Speed: 25 mph

Next.

I can run faster than that!

Here's where you can give them your money.

Start funding this project because they list things like this:

- The “Next-Big-Thing”

- Eli ZERO is not only half the size but also half the cost of conventional compact cars.

- Ready for production and sales in Q4 2020

- We have perfected our design and worked diligently to establish a solid proof of our concepts

I suspect that we all will be throwing money at this project.

It was inspired by the Smart car?

25 mph is dangerously slow.

I'd only drive it in a parking lot.

It is classified as a "Neighborhood Electric Vehicle". Which is basically a golf cart enclosed with what appears to be a quite nice interior. This is targeted not at me and likely not at most people on this page:

What exactly is the Eli ZERO? It is classified as a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, which means it is legal to use on public roads that have a speed limit of 25 mph or less. Think that may not be enough for your needs? Consider this: The average city dweller drives fewer than 3 miles a day, often at an average speed of about 15 mph or less.

For what it is, it looks well done. For where I live, not a fit at all.

 

[Elio Amazed]

Many have I loved, and many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road

Many times I've lied, and many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know

Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings
I live for my dream, and a pocket full of gold

Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing
Many, many men can't see the open road
