An original Elio fan having one of the earliest $1000 all in reservations.............actually HAS confidence and it's understandable to LOSE a little of that confidence based on Elio quotes and progress............not Speculation. There is no engine and or E Series Prototypes to date. I too will be watching Technosports Creative closely for that scheduled Aug/Sept build to start on time. I have every reason to believe it will happen.

I will be watching too. If we could patent and sell the idea of "simply doing what we say we're going to do" we'd make a million. As a general rule I'll give you three chances to achieve the above claims after that I'm not responsible. LOL Ok maybe in this case, I'll give him 5 chances because America needs this as proof the cronies aren't the only ones running the country. If politics somehow squeezes him out then America if finished as the country so few of us still recognize. As an example how many folks know who really designed the The Volkswagen. His name was Josef Gantz and Hitler ran him off and gave the plans to Porsche. I hope the same thing doesn't happen with Obama. LOL
Uh, this is ridiculous. By your argument, every motorcycle rider eventually dies riding a motorcycle. Do you realize how utterly silly your claim is and so detached from reality?
Jim and John covered this really well already--but, my mere 22 years of riding (never had a lesson except for what friends have shown me and I learned) has resulted in zero limbs broken. You can not be complacent on a motorcycle and 'zone out' as most of us do driving our cages. A little healthy fear and respect for the imminent death that is always around ALL OF US as we drive along--both car drivers and motorcycle riders--goes a long way toward sharpening the senses and yielding space when needed
And, good riders learn to *see the hole* and not get tunnel vision *on the obstacle*...that's the other key to survival and fun on a bike.Just because you never learned to ride safely and with focus does not mean others haven't.
Anywho, I agree with other posters that the Elio is far more cage than bike. I am sure I will love it madly, but it'll be no corner carving, self-extension of your body, for sure.

The EM rep in Columbus said the block and the head are finished, if this helps.

That's good news. I'm ok with Elio's progress and find the delays to date understandable. I also understand why some lose confidence based on Paul Elio quotes on prototypes that didn't materialize as promised. I'm in no hurry on a production vehicle and want an Elio that isn't going to be plagued with recalls and or warranty work. Take the time to do it right out of the gate..........good business.

I would impart this wisdom to you if you would so incline your ears. I never implied in the slightest that we're all going to die who riding motorcycles. Calm down and you'll see I said nothing like that. I simply said that there are many of cyclist out there far superior to both yours and my skills who have been reduced to that irritating clicking noise on some simi trucker's tire. Sing the following song with me. "many brave men are asleep in the deep" lol
Seems like hope for some members is head south.
I have noticed this cycle before. Not a lot of news on new progress leads to lower numbers. Hopefully soon we will get some news on the engine and/or the P5 build which help revive peoples confidence.
