Elio

terryp · 09-08-2013, 09:09 PM

muttonchops and I checked out a pre-prototype of the 2-seat, 3-wheeled Elio today. It's expected to go into production next fall. It's very comfortable, and will come standard with all the ammenities for just $300 more than an i2! Personally, I think I'd still opt for the Seg, but the Elio might be just as much fun, and more practical. Unfortunately, there's not nearly enough room for a Seg inside.

Check it out at eliomotors.com.

Should be posted in Science and other not-Segway-related subforum.

Also, looks like the T3.

Not even if you squint.

I posted here because I'd like to hear the opinions of other Segway owners. Many other alternative vehicles have been discussed here for the same reason.

You're right, I didn't remember the R3 is solid instead of exposed wheel design.

Also, based on what I've seen since joining, threads that are about vehicles other than Segways usually are moved.

T3? R3? Huh?

I am not familiar with an R3, or at least do not recall it.

What is an R3?

I love it... Suprised at the price?

I hope they make it... USA company and jobs for the Americain worker!

The R3 is T3's car.
A quick google search yields many photos and a couple videos.
