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!

but as far as indestructible...let's give one to my girlfriends 12 year old son and see how long it lasts
