LEGEND Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Sounds like a great idea and exactly what the world needs. More economical than a motorcycle and I would think much safer. Doesn't look like the vehicle for me but I like the idea. These days I feel like I need to be driving something more substantial. Just today I nearly got into a high speed collision with an idiot passing on the right out one I-880. The Acura driver had to pass the already fast moving traffic by zipping in and out of traffic and cutting me off in the process. If I didn't brake for his sorry ass we woulda hit at about 75 mph. Not sure how a smaller lighter 3 wheeled vehicle would fare when, not if, some bozo runs into it. Man I thought L.A. drivers were bad but Nor Cal bay area drivers are out of control...

Member Contributer mello dude Posted June 26, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted June 26, 2016 I wish Elio the best of luck, but as a guy with a couple decades in automotive engineering and manufacturing, for Elio to say he's gonna sell this thing for $6800.... I think he's has been smoking too much cannabis..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer FJ12Ryder Posted June 26, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted June 26, 2016 Amen, that price point is in no way realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falseneutral Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 A CB500X,made in Thailand,has the same price.This means either the Honda is hideously overpriced,American labor and materials have become magicallycheaper than Thai,this is a more drawn out version of the Dale.

BrianF Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Been watching this for years. Even thought about putting down a deposit. Delay after delay after delay is its story. Even if it does get built, all above are correct - it will never be $6800. I'd still pay $12k or so for it, so why set people's expectations so high (low)?
