Welcome to Weird Wheels, the home of the weird, wacky and the wondrously stupid awful ideas the automotive industry has thought up.
From Motorcycles, Tricycles, Unicycles, One Wheel, Two Wheels or a Monowheel. Ugly, fugly, weird or the endeared! The confusing, cruising or even the amusing.
This community has it all!
I used to be a valet, and these were some of the most unique cars on the road then!
This is I'm great shape! Wish they still made small little hybrids like these. I've heard these get amazing milage.
I used to get upwards of 75 mpg on mine! It was a blast to drive too.
Sadly the exhaust system fell apart and I didnt have the money or skill to fix it. Sold it to a guy who is restoring it though so alls well that ends well.
I would have loved to have had one of these. Remember researching prices for used ones about 5 years after they were discontinued, and couldn't find anything under $15,000 with less than 100k mi or in need of a battery swap. Such a shame.
Theyre becoming niche collector cars so theyre hard to find cheap. They only made around 17k of them worldwide which is another issue.
There's a diehard following that come up with creative ways to repair them but parts are becoming increasingly hard to come by. Definitely not a car to get casually anymore. I had to give up this one because I simply didnt have the ability to fix it.
I picked one up last week from an auction. It's seen better days but after a good steam clean, detail, tire/brake/battery it hopefully will be fine
You wont regret it until it runs into mechanical problems and you have to go down a DIY rabbithole to fix it.
Still worth it though.
Just did that with a Subaru. I think I'm ready lol
