Niky, those vehicles are one thing I thought of doing. Get a Metro/Suzuki XFi and build a custom body 3 wheeler off of it. Legally, that would help because you'd have an existing VIN plate, and all the front parts are DOT approved already. But I don't think I would keep the existing front sheetmetal because the 'seam' between car and bike always looks funny to me. But if you have an XFi Metro, and reduce ~25% of the weight, 25% of the wheel drag... Should add up to some good MPGs, right?
