More importantly, can it outrun a 1958 Plymouth Fury?

Looks like they've reinvented the King Midget! (Then, I've always kinda liked the King Midget...)...however the King Midget was four wheels...

The fascinating thing is...it gets the same mileage as my old Honda 90 did back in the day, engine is almost 3 times the displacement, it goes as fast, carries more people/stuff and has a heater!

I have accumulated some stuff for a car. Karmann Ghia front body, 25 HP 1 liter diesel engine. Was thinking about two wheels in front and one in the rear. Thats seems like a much more stable setup.

I always wanted to build something along these lines....
Wonder if that fits motorcycle definition though, I can see getting away with the single front wheel as a trike.
