Nice Pics, Sky. Hi Chris, et al.
It is nice to find some others who are serious about 50cc cars. I started out on human power, so it seems pretty luxurious to me, even now that I either walk or drive for about an hour to get anywhere at a steady 57 MPH. I think that 600 MPG @ 60 MPH is a reasonable goal for a 1+1 cabin scooter. In such a light, streamlined vehicle, directional stability in crosswinds becomes paramount for safety. Besides carefully calculating stall angles and forces, I plan to start with a front engine and tadpole layout, just to make the challenge reasonable.
The Honda Zoomer has my favourite engine, but I'd rather have real gears and reverse. Finding really suitable tires is a challenge, too. I'd like to find a more durable edition of the Michelin solar racer special tires - might have to settle for MC tires that size until I can get their attention.
