You could re-purpose a race car and use it on the street ?
It's plain science - fiction for me since I am in France where it's very much impossible ...
What's the engine in the race car ?
What about EV power ?

Point, higher potential for mpg. The stock scooter is good for 130mpg. Adding a more aerodynamic body should make it capable of 200 under ideal conditions.
The third wheel could be completely shrouded, so it would have a lower cd than my vx, and a much smaller frontal area.
You can repurpose here. It would fall under motorcycle regulations with 3 wheels.
Its a race prepped air cooled vw, not great for mpg.
EV power won't have the range I would want.
May have to wait for a bit, the scooter sold. I'll keep an eye out for a wrecked grom. I may have to settle for a cbr250, i the building bug hits hard enough.
