And in case you haven’t noticed, the world, and personal space along with it, is shrinking. We simply need to evolve to more efficient and practical forms of transportation.
We need a new way to get around. And Elio is that new way.
Never has different, sexy, and fun tag teamed so well with serious, practical, and smart.
Consider:
- Elio is American made
- 3 days of charge-free commuting
- Engineered to deliver the highest safety standards
- All for an unheard-of targeted $14,900* base price
The positive impact of Elio ripples well beyond personal owner benefits. It will generate thousands of jobs while setting a whole new standard for environmental friendliness.
So, why Elio? A better question might be “Why anything else?”
How It All Began?
American ingenuity is alive and well. And the world has never been more ready for it.
A few short years ago, automotive enthusiast Paul Elio sized up the prevailing status quo of personal transportation. He saw the soaring costs of the vehicles we drive and electric options going even higher. He saw Americans struggling with an economy that was taking too much and giving back too little. Paul Elio decided that the world was ready for something radically new. The result? A three-wheeled masterpiece of automotive brilliance that bears his name.

Paul set out from there with a clear-cut mission statement:
To provide a fun-to-drive, super-economical personal transportation alternative, that’s affordable, safe, and environmentally friendly. We are committed to the American dream, creating American jobs, and bringing American automotive ingenuity to every vehicle we build. This is, and will remain our mission at Elio.
For students the vehicle would offer a safe and reliable means to move around campus. It would allow families with minivans and SUV’s to add an economical commuter vehicle to the driveway. For pure enthusiasts, it would deliver on flat out fun – with a potential for customizing as unlimited as imagination itself. Paul Elio envisioned a vehicle that’s truly for everybody, and its inflation-defying targeted $14,900* base price, sticker price ensures that practically everyone could afford one.

As noted, Paul Elio’s vision also included providing vital American jobs. This meant of course that he would tap the best of America’s automotive know-how on all levels of design and manufacturing. Paul Elio has never wavered from his mission. And the result is a three-wheeled expression of automotive brilliance that bears his name.
Elio is an idea whose time has come – and that time is now!
