Towing The Elio / Towing With The Elio

[jlhog]

Yup, but a small trailer will be needed to take any trips. The wife does not understand "traveling light"

Available 2015 in line with Elio's production schedule @ $2500. Somehow I can't envision this being towed at over bicycle speeds. Although have not seen how it folds.

It doesn't fold down, one part pushes into the other so it is half the size when being pulled. :-) Z

R e a l l y? .
This "wide Path" thing is designed for bike paths, it's on bicycle axles, wheels and tires that, in all likelihood wouldn't even make it to interstate speeds before disintegrating. Even folded for travel it would flop around like a hooked mackerel, back there. Also, that flat front surface would probably limit itself and the Elio attached to it to a top speed of around 45mph and reduce mileage to about 10 mpg. Sorry, not feasible!

That was the motor in my golf cart we had at the camp ground. I enjoy modding almost everything I have.

that's what I'd expect .... I suspect towing a trailer will have a large impact on the mileage of an Elio as well

I agree! That is why designing a trailer, to be as slippery as the Elio, is important. My vision is, long & narrow with one wheel at the far back.

I spoke with this company and was told that they would look into the feasibility of engineering one for the Elio.

please post whatever you find .... my concern would be a single rear wheel vehicle towing a single rear camper .... I hope it will be work, it most certainly will be interesting

I hauled this behind my Harley. The Elio could handle it easily.View attachment 3389

What brand/model trailer is that? Specs? I tow a Harbor Freight trailer behind an '11 Electroglide Classic. No problemo!
