This is the BIG WARNING. There is no market for these shares; you might be able privately to transfer them to another shareholder, but I'm not sure about that. In any case, you should READ THIS:
The securities offered on the Site are only suitable for prospective investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risks associated with private investments, including the risk of complete loss of your investment. Securities sold through private placements are not publicly traded and, therefore, are illiquid unless registered with the SEC. Securities will be subject to restrictions on resale or transfer including holding period requirements. Investing in private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity need, and long-term commitments. Users must be able to afford to lose their entire investment. Investment products are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and there is no bank guarantee.
I don't think securities are transferable for a full year. I also found this note about the State securities regulator involvement. Something to check on as well.This is the BIG WARNING.

ESG and the principals in it, ALSO hold all the patents and patent application on the ELIO. Just a few I found are to do with the airbags, side beams and seat mount cross beams. I can not find any patents or patent applications in the name of EM? Having EM as an empty shell is good business practice, just not a comforting one for this investor.ESG was Paul Elio's first comany, nothing unusual. Keep researching Elio and the truck seat he designed, it has been the topic of what goes right and what goes wrong in trying to bring new products to market.
If you have any kind of investments 401k, 403b, IRA, Roth IRA, stocks, ect.....you pretty much are in the same boat! No one guarantees your investment against loss of any kind. Example between 2008 and 2009 we lost 42% of the value of our 401k. Unlike many who cut their losses and ran, we road out the storm and continued to purchase funds. Today we are above our expectations for this time in our lives and still have a few years before retirement and we still have money riding in the market.This is the BIG WARNING.

I'm not sure what the concern would be about a person who owns more than one business, especially if he had sights on diversification down the road. I think the primary risk with the Elio, other than it's low cost, is the severe addiction most driving Americans have to petroleum powered, over capacity vehicles, and the lack of real world options for starting to wean us off it all. I think Paul Elio is taking a stab at that whole issue, and if his timing is right it will pay off, if his timing is off he'll go bust. In my opinion that's the real gamble, I'm in for the long haul, I get many are not.ESG and the principals in it, ALSO hold all the patents and patent application on the ELIO.
