I'll admit to a dream project: A homemade Aptera-like vehicle powered by a motorcycle engine like this. As said, it could be hooked up to an OBDII device, but would be cleaner than most motorcycle engines.
My picture is a fibreglass vehicle like the Aptera except the seating is verticle - not side by side for better aerodynamics. Don't know much about fibreglass, but a few wood or metal beams in the bottom and a layer or two of fibreglass with a thin layer of air might make it strong for it's weight. Getting the right engine and canopy would be the hardest part....would need to get all the parts before making the body. With a 250cc engine, it would be too small for A/C and would need plenty of ventilation for the engine from overheating (see the Litestar/Pulse site). In skilled hands, should easily get 100mpg.
