Podcasts about Elio Motors

In this episode, Scott sits down with Darren Marble — the creator of Going Public and founder of Issuance — for a wide-ranging conversation on the rise of retail investors, the evolution of equity crowdfunding, and why he believes the best days of this industry are still ahead. Darren shares the inside story of launching Going Public, a groundbreaking series now partnered with X (formerly Twitter), where everyday people can invest in startups while watching. He opens up about the challenges of getting mainstream media to understand the vision, the value of showmanship in a complex industry, and how they're landing major talent like Baron Davis, Floyd Mayweather, and Steve Aoki to bring visibility to private investing. Scott and Darren go deep into the early days of crowdfunding, the Elio Motors deal that kicked it all off, the philosophy behind Issuance's white-label platform, and why building a frictionless checkout for investing (complete with Apple Pay and USDC) was always the obvious play. This episode is full of gems on what it really takes to build trust, media attention, and infrastructure in a space often ignored by institutions — until now.

During this episode, the aggressive looking Toyota Corolla Apex sedan is reviewed; a climate friendly neighborhood in Colorado fights to remain climate friendly; and we discuss the chances for success with the "second coming" of autobike maker Elio Motors. 

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? 

Today is Wednesday, November 14, and we’re looking at Elio Motors vs. Arcimoto

Every year, cars come and go. In 2018, nearly two dozen vehicles available in 2017 won't be available as new models. Some of the cars, like the Chevrolet Spark, have been failing for years. Some of the other departing vehicles, like the Honda Accord coupe, come as surprises. In Episode 20 of The Weekly Driver Podcast, co-hosts Bruce Aldrich and James Raia bid farewell to the departing vehicles. Some we'll miss. But for others, good riddance. The Elio Motors three-wheel vehicle is failing before it was made. With the new year upon us, we also look back on some of the popular topics in the auto industry during 2017. What exactly will happen beginning January 1 with the new marijuana laws beging is anyone's guess. How will law enforcement officials handle motorists who have had to much to smoke? No one was in the news more than Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla. We chat about his ongoing plans for the fastest production vehicle ever made as well as the delays in his long-promised everyman's Tesla. Paul Elio, the owner of the fledgling three-wheel Elio, spent much of the year fending off criticism about his yet-to-be manufactured vehicle. Elio has massive debt, lots of broken promises and a few pending lawsuits. He's also facing the likelihood his much-touted vehicle with its $7,400 price, 84 miles per gallon and 100 miles per hour estimates, will never be made. Also in Episode 20, we share some of our "pet peeves." We answer the question why every car couldn't have rear window windshield wipers. And Bruce explains that drivers not using their blinkers is a not a new story and that it's perhaps me just getting old We hope you enjoy the episode and we welcome your comments.

Welcome to the show! Today I talk about a short but very tense problem during the Viper ring effort, Elio Motors coming off slightly scammy and Takata won't ever (and can't ever) catch a break.

With the "dot com crash" in 2000, largely by regulatory design, small company IPOs all but disappeared from the American economic landscape. A scarcely noticed part or title of the 2012 JOBS Act sought to address that directly by reinvigorating Regulation A, raising the cap from $5 million to $50 million and creating a path for a Reg A offering to be an effective IPO (initial public offering). The new rule is commonly called Reg A+. In early 2016, Elio Motors went public using Regulation A. The rules weren't effective until mid 2015 and the market is just beginning to mature. Rod Turner is the founder and CEO of Manhattan Street Capital, one of the players in this nascent marketplace. Read the full GoodCrowdinfo article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2pezZ4p.

Title IV of the Act, however, is proving to be where the real action is. The SEC’s implemented the rules for Regulation A+ on June 19. An article by Amy Wan at Crowdfund Insider provides some key statistics about offerings being conducted under the act. 105 offerings were filed, 44 of which were “qualified” by the SEC. Elio Motors raised almost $17 million earlier this year. Paul Elio joined me twice in the last year to discuss his offering, here and here. The scale of that offering suggests appropriately that Reg A+ offerings are not intended for idea-stage or seed-stage transactions. They may be best seen as a path to an early and more affordable IPO, as the shares of a company that has completed a Reg A+ offering can be listed. Seed Equity Ventures, a sponsor of our work here at GoodCrowd.info, is a FINRA-registered broker dealer providing investment banking services to early-stage companies. Founder and CEO Todd Crosland has indicated that the firm hopes to make it easier and more affordable for small companies to raise money with a Reg A+ offering. Todd notes that Seed Equity’s inside legal counsel will work with companies and their legal advisors to ensure complete and affordable regulatory compliance. The firm will help with the company’s offering materials, the closing process and “everything in between,” he says. --------------------------- Read the full GoodCrowdinfo article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/29Erjtc.

For this episode of the PlanetMicroCap Podcast, I spoke with David Weild from Weild & Co. Reg. A+ and equity crowdfunding have been in the news quite a bit recently, especially since the first ever Reg. A+ deal, Elio Motors, got funded and went public on OTC Markets. This new alternative financing option did not happen overnight, it’s been in the works for quite a while, and although it’s still very early, there could be opportunity to invest in exciting new companies using this vehicle.But, it was unclear to me how it all works. I thought, who better to explain this topic than the Father of the JOBS Act himself, David Weild. The goal for this episode is to learn about Reg. A+, equity crowdfunding, how this type of financing is changing the landscape of raising capital for emerging growth companies, and what investors should understand about these types of deals.

Last fall, the IPO market “fizzled” and 2016 has seen the broader market fall well into “ correction” territory (representing more than a 10% drop from the peak). That hasn’t stopped Elio Motors from raising over $16 million in a “mini-IPO” with help from StartEngine. Elio Motors, founded by Paul Elio, is developing a sub-$7,000, three-wheeled vehicle that seats two people and gets 84 miles per gallon. Last summer, Elio “tested the waters” and found interest of over $27 million (a spokesman says the tally reached $45.6 million). With the SEC’s official sanction, Elio launched their regulation A offering, something of a cross between a traditional IPO and investment crowdfunding, just as the market began to stumble. Elio explains that as with a traditional IPO, the shares will trade publicly, “ Shares in Elio Motors will soon become eligible to be traded on the OTCQX, the top tier of the three marketplaces for trading over-the-counter stocks provided and operated by the OTC Markets Group. This will provide liquidity for investors who purchase stock through the Regulation A+ offering.” “Elio Motors will close out the current Regulation A+ stock offering on Feb. 1, 2016, as one of the steps needed to allow for OTCQX trading,” he adds. According to Elio, the funds will be used to fund engineering and testing vehicles, the “E-Series” to test “aerodynamics, durability and safety.” Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://onforb.es/20oZ1Ls.

Elio Motors, the Arizona-based experimental vehicle maker whose three-wheel, futuristic-looking prototypes have generated polarizing interest, will introduce its fifth generation vehicle at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. The vehicle's CAD renderings detail a similar but update version of the car's previous concepts. The company, building what it's touting as the cheapest car in the United States in a former General Motors plant in Shreveport, Louisiana, has collected different levels of reservation deposits online for several years. But Elio Motors and its founder, Paul Elio, have suffered many setbacks and have changed public delivery dates several times. The Elio project has been as controversial as an in the auto industry, with the exception of the the current Volkswagen diesel scandal. The latest edition of the vehicle, called the P5, has many of the same features as the previous concepts. The front wheels are completely enclosed in order to reduce drag and a narrow, highly-aerodynamic body. The cockpit seats two and there's a comprehensive list of equipment that includes power locks and windows, cup holders, parking sensors, and a USB port. There's A rear-view camera but no rear window. The Elio Motors' three-wheel concept vehicle will be displayed at the Los Angeles Auto Show Power for the P5 is provided by a 0.9-liter three-cylinder gasoline-burning engine developed specifically for Elio Motors by Germany-based IAV Automotive Engineering. Full technical details haven't been published yet, but the startup predicts its first car is capable of returning about 84 mpg on the highway thanks in part to an ultra-low weight. The P5 accelerates to 60 mph from a stop in 9.6 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 100 mph. It's predicted to get 84 mph and is marketed as having a price of $6,800. The current public relations material from Elio details the car will be available to the pubic in late 2016. However, the Elio Motors project has attracted plenty of detractors. The announcement of the appearance of the vehicle at the L.A. Auto Show on the website, leftlanenews.com, for example, drew wide-ranging pans. The Los Angeles Auto Show will be held Nov. 20-29 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. To read more about the Elio Motors participation at the L.A. Auto Show and a strong sample of the public's opinion about the car visit: LEFTLANENEWS/ELIO  

As Elio pushes its production schedule back yet again, more and more former fans are turning into bitter skeptics. So what's the scoop? Join Scott and Ben as they take a closer look at the future of Elio Motors. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

A.J. chats with Elio Motors founder and CEO Paul Elio about how he’s building a $6,800 eco-friendly form of transportation, which will achieve astonishing MPG and could revolutionize our daily commutes.

August 6, 2015 - Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://onforb.es/1MbEUIU. Subscribe to this podcast on iTunes by clicking here: http://bit.ly/ymotwitunes or on Stitcher by clicking here: http://bit.ly/ymotwstitcher. Elio Motors seems to have found the capital it needs to launch the most revolutionary car since the Tesla Model S was introduced. The $6,800, three-wheeled car is designed principally for commuting and will get 84 an estimated miles per gallon. Capitalizing the venture has seemed tricky, but new rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission governing Regulation A offerings created an interesting “test the waters” option that allows an issuer to gauge market interest in an offering demonstrated plenty of interest. Over $27 million of interest was expressed. Regulation A+ as the new rules are being called, gives ordinary rather than “accredited” or wealthy investors the opportunity to invest in early stage companies. The bulk of the investment interest in Elio was from people who are interested in buying a $6,800 car—not the venture capital set. Ronald Miller, CEO of StartEngine, the crowdfunding site that is working with Elio Motors, notes, “Equity Crowdfunding under Reg A+ is the greatest advancement for entrepreneurship in a generation. Since access to capital is the greatest barrier to bringing innovations to the market, leveling the playing field for investors and founders alike is a real game changer.” Miller explains the concept of equity crowdfunding, as demonstrated by the Elio effort, “As traditional media dies, social becomes the new marketing power of today’s corporations. Now, for the first time, companies can engage their customers to become investors who then become brand ambassadors who push the companies messaging out to their social networks”. “With Reg A+, Congress has finally opened the door to the other 92% of the population that never had a chance to invest in the next big thing like Google GOOGL -0.89%, Facebook and PayPal ,” Miller adds. Miller sees this as both a practical and a social problem. He notes, “The only ones saying that there is a lot of money available to startups are the VC’s. Unless you are white male and previously had a successful exit from a VC backed company, your chances of getting funded by a VC are about zero.” Paul Elio, the founder and CEO of Elio Motors, feels much the same way, noting, “I wanted to own a car company from the time I was 8-years old. Realistically, I had a better shot at becoming a professional athlete.” “It was 2008, gas prices were through the roof and wealth was pouring out of our country. Every night, I’d come home and watch the news and get angry about what was happening. I decided to do something about it,” Elio explains. “Elio Motors is dedicated to creating American jobs and working to make our manufacturing sector and our economy stronger.” Please consider whether a friend or colleague might benefit from this piece and, if so, share it.
