Have you seen Elios Motors?

GolferGal · Feb 27, 2016

Saw something about this on the web and thought it was both weird and interesting.

Yep I have too much self respect to be seen driving this car under any circumstances. But to each their own. Gotta give them respect for trying to jump start something.

Reminds me of this:

T2GRN18 · Feb 27, 2016

My dad pre-ordered one of these. It's a replacement for my moms golf cart that she uses to tool around the "community"

golfinFF · Feb 27, 2016

Where do my golf clubs go?

Scrap Iron · Feb 27, 2016

So Urkel is designing cars these days. I wondered where he went.

I'd rather have that BMW one he had...

That's awesome.

I would drive one. I dont drive too much, but this would be perfect for a third vehicle.

krispyk · Feb 28, 2016

I get the updates on FB for these. I would love to get one but who knows when or if they are ever going to come to fruition. Each year they keep saying the first batch is projected by the end of the year and when that comes and goes they say next year. As a photographer it would be great as there is enough room for my gear and get great gas milage that would keep fuel costs low.

You can actually fit them in the back, but you have to put the 2nd seat down. Only 1 person/1 bag at a time.

I am interested in one of these, the cost and fuel efficiency are pretty amazing. I drive solo most of the time, so I could see this being a great 2nd vehicle option especially for those that have to commute.

I have ... I know at least three people that put money down ... I am just cautious of a company that over promises and under delivers ... the people I know have waited 2+ years after putting money down and still nothing ...

The good news is in the interim, I have discovered this jewel that is available today. I seriously want one ....

I have seen one of those Polaris cars running around near my house....pretty cool looking

Drumdog · Feb 28, 2016

I wonder how those hold up in a T-bone crash?

I agree. Has death trap written all over it for where I live.

About like a motorcycle. They are more motorcycle than car, but they are FUN looking. I've seen a few of them running around. Really really nice. But very much a toy.

Just the sort of toy I would buy when I retire in a few years. They look very cool and would be a blast to drive, a lot of fun for $20k and I think my wife would allow it even though she hates motorcycles.

fupresti · Feb 28, 2016

Like the idea, but if I am picking up a 3-wheeler I am getting a Polaris Slingshot.

They are licensed as a motorcycle, and states with helmet laws require a helmet ... but it also means HOV lane!

gizmo3putt · Feb 28, 2016

Polaris all the way!

Wake · Feb 28, 2016

I'd take an Ariel Atom or XBow over the slingshot, of course the price tag is much higher

Atom would be pretty cool, especially the V8 version haha. Ive always wanted a Caterham r500 tho, they are just awesome.

The trunk of my Corolla barely has enough room for my golf stuff and work stuff.

This would be a great car for the soon-to-be ex wife...

EDIT - I am not encouraging that type of....purchase. And I have never been married.
