With the right marketing approach it could be viable even in the American market, including some commercial/professional configurations. On a sidenote, if it really had to resort to an engine specific for the project, an attempt to offer stationary/industrial variants of such engine could be interesting to lead to a quicker return of investment.
Even though the low-cost approach failed, the "recreational" bias followed by Polaris and Vanderhall is a clear statement about the technical and commercial viability of a somewhat similar vehicle.
