Never heard of elio.  
I’ll have to research.  
Maybe like the Wankel rotary ? different, sure enough. but better ?

I see it’s just an enclosed 3wheel motorcycle.  
Body work and tandem seating reworked around a three wheeled motorcycle.  
fine, if you want one of those.  
just an adaptation. With a very limited customer base that will soon be saturated.

What’s the potential scam here ?  
Guy want’s to start a company to build and sell these.  
People are investing.  
Will it fly ?
