I found this buggy on the net and thought it would look a lot better as a trike. So i created this from a picture from the designers website. www.fusionweld.com/sketches-creations/sketches-creations/14412017So, what does everyone think? Good or Bad? A scooter drivetrain would work and a slightly elongated rear section could accommodate a motorcycle engine. Would you build it? I keep thinking of a front wheel drive with a cycle engine behind the FWD transaxle. Could possibly use a suzuki fwd car drivetrain.

It is a nice looking concept. I like the trike version, but I don't think there is enough room for everything. Even if you are sitting on the scooter engine, still not enough room for pedal assembly.

As you say Stretch, packaging driver(as well as any know drive train) within this skin would seem impossible. I'm sure the originator realized it was just a nice fanciful doodle. Not really relevant to us real world builders. Aside from that, forward visibility would be terrible. Wonder what the lines running vertically through the windshield are? Reflection?
Looks cool though, and that was probably the point.
Could be a gravity racer if you got rid of the wide tires and radiator. No room for that either.
Thanks for point of discussion SRX.
