Life After The 2017 Introductory Model... How About The Elio Ii?

[Sethodine]

Oooh, a three-seat Limousine version! Driver, rear-facing passenger and front-facing passenger.

But seriously though, I think that we often think of this as a car, when really it is more like a motorcycle. It serves a very specific purpose, and deviating outside of that purpose puts it in competition with much better suited vehicles.
When it comes to cargo, I would be satisfied with an Elio that is engineered to occationally tow a light-duty trailer.

Exactly

 

[Coss]

I think if you moved the cab position farther forward, add 5"-6" in length more you could fit that 3rd person, or added trunk space.
Currently you sit just about mid-ship; put the engine in a more upright position, and possibly widen it 3" or 4"; you could maintain an aero stance but almost double the size on the inside.
However with the added space comes added weight; so you would have to up the power.
You will lose a little mileage, but you open the Elio to a whole new realm of possibilities.

Something like this? With a collapsible 3rd seat you could use for extra storage too?...

Years ago, I drew a sketch for a 2-seat tandem car that looked very much like the Elio, except that it was a 4-wheeled car. I also envisioned an off-road version, except I figured the gunner would be in the back seat with the gun mounted on the roof.

Were you a fan of RAT PATROL by chance?

I think they used to call that a RUMBLE SEAT.

Actually, that isn't too far fetched. That type of configuration would make the Elio fit quite a few more situations. If you took an Elio and used an EV setup in the front and could move the cabin slightly forward and then figured out a good way to access under seat storage of the passenger seat while also increasing the trunk area a bit, you'd have a much more acceptable general purpose vehicle. I say general purpose because "The Elio" is for commuting. Have you guys noticed how they've started putting "The Elio" in italics in their emails? I'm betting the first model is simple called "The Elio" and subsequent ones will be called "The Elio Sportster" or "The Elio I" (i = current in electrical circuits)
