[Yaj Yak]

and only 20k though...


sort of unimpressed by this also...

Not as attractive as the exposed V-Twin powering the Morgan three-wheeler but a helluva lot more powerful is the DOHC, 2.4-liter, GM Ecotec engine. Entry is gained via a reverse-tilting hood. Polaris estimates a 26-mpg average.

That's pretty cool.

Go cart from Hell, I like it!

 

[Yaj Yak]

i wish it had more power, but it could work... i like that it has normal sized car tires as well.

this thing is gonna sell like hot cakes i'm bettting.


i wonder if you can take the motorcycle test in it?

I'm half chub.

 

[Yaj Yak]

I love also that they made the whole thing waterproof.

holy fuck is this thing cool.

 

[willsmysticcobra]

ya someone on this forum has to buy one. I really want to but I am a bit thinned out and full of toys lol

 

[Yaj Yak]

if I fit i am going to definitely look into it... this would be awesome for a "commuter"

Swap in 2.0 turbo cobalt engine. More hp and mpg. Profit

who knows how easy that would be though... and what kind of trans/rear drivetrain setup it has... who knows what kind of power it will handle.

sure the engine is moddable- but what about the rest of the equation.

 

[willsmysticcobra]

Ya that belt can only hold so much... adding a surge of boost may slip like crazy

 

[boostedguy05]

my question woud be with more power how hard is it going to be to keep that drive wheel from just roasting the tire.

 

[boostedguy05]

didnt even think about the belt drive.

 

[Yaj Yak]

 

[BS ISF]

pretty badass!

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah that belt drive is where i think the weak point may be? but i don't know much about that shit.
