Yes, these little beasties are street legal. They run on either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle
engines and co-opt vintage Bumper Car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car
we've seen in too long.
There are seven of these little monsters floating around California, and they're all the creation
of one man, Tom Wright, a builder in the outskirts of San Diego, who figured the leftovers
of the Long Beach Pike Amusement Park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap.
They were originally powered by two-cylinder Harley-Davidson Motorcycle engines, but they
rattled like heck because of the two cylinder vibration and Tom replaces them with four
cylinder Honda or Kawasaki 750's and a couple have been measured as capable of 160 mph,
which is terrifying fast in machines with such a short wheelbase.
By the way, they are almost indestructible in accidents!
