Got a strange hankering for one - with a better chassis and engine - oh and bigger wheels


cool or not

They used to make replica body kits for a £k or so surely 2 or 3£k would get it on the road?

A bike engine would fit in there lovely I like it

Prefer the earlier Fend Flitzer design.

... or you could have a two seat roadster!
Like the second seat.


Fend roadster

Would of thought a nice R1 or Busa engine in that would make for interesting travel

Very cool Which is why they currently sell for £20K plus!

£20k???

Good grief - the body moldings are only £1500 and the original chassis is about as crude and simple as they get. The only snag is the pedals are in front of the axle - ouch! But that can be changed.

What sort of engine do you think - a Busa or R1 might be a bit too much power for the roadholding of something that only weighs a few hundred kg.

A nice smooth 4 or 6 pot with 50 or 60 hp and a good spread of torque would be nice, oh yes it would need a slick gearbox too .

Whats out there?

Cheers!

Loved em when I was a kid in the late 50s/60s and still do to this day, a guy next door to us had the 4 wheeled tiger, there where 4 bubble cars in our street plus a bond a 3 wheeled box van thing that you steered with handle bars like an auto rickshaw and a 3 wheeled Morgan. The Morgan was the star in my eyes has been ever since.

Cheers,
Bob

A suzuki Burgman scooter engine would be good in one of those, 400cc twist and go .Yamaha also do a 650cc twin twist and go scoot.
