Will Other Drivers See Us?

The reverse trike (motorcycle) market has already widely demonstrated the issue.View attachment 3541

I like this a lot, I'm curious what it looks like in the daytime.

Interesting. I couldn't see the image until I replied. Does it come in only black or in other colors also? Z

Yes Zelio - the tape comes in multiple colors.

Do you have a link for this OctoberGlory?

I've currently have this tape on my utility trailer and have used it on every boat trailer I've owned. I've always used the classic red and white alternating color pattern. All my applications of the tape have been applied directly to a metal surface - never a painted surface. I have some concerns about the tape on a painted surface as it might damage the paint during removal. That being said the tape is designed for a very long service life and should last many, many years.

Is the car passing your Elio not staying in their own lane.........or cutting you off for some odd reason? If reflectors and or fender lights were needed from a safety perspective my guess is EM would have incorporated them into the final design. I don't think you will find those front fenders stick out as far as you envision.

If you get passed a lot (like I do) you do notice that many passing cars have their right wheels on the line or even slightly over in my lane. I have wondered if they are bad drivers, distracted drivers, or maybe trying to send me a message. Since the protruding fender is an unusual design and very vulnerable, EM will probably want to make it as visible as possible in order to avoid liability if they start getting whacked.

With one 50 yd roll, that would be plenty to do 25

With one 50 yd roll ,why you could supply at least 25 Elios or make one highly reflective Elio that could be seen a mile away.

Can you see me now? o_O

25 can go in on a roll, do yours and mail it to the next person on the list.

Thanks, OctoberGlory. I have bookmarked that link to my Elio folder for future reference. :-) Z
