The Second Coming of Elio Motors

Published: Sept. 28, 2021, 9 p.m.

In 2009, Paul Elio started Elio Motors.  The original concept was simple enough, an enclosed three wheeled autobike with decent creature comforts, a gasoline engine with the ability to achieve 84 miles per gallon and a price tag of less than $8500.  Problem is, it turn out that way.  Today, he's back and offering an electric powered version for just over $14,000.  Fantastic or folly?
