Cool beans! Looks like that teeny island car that Jeremy Jackson was driving in a Top Gear episode.
Here's a very simplistic power-to-weight ratio comparison of the 190 cc version :
430 lbs / 16.7 HP = 25.74 lbs/HP
Now add one 160 lb driver :
590 lbs / 18.7 HP = 35.32 lbs/HP
My car :
2456 lbs / 120 HP = 20.47 lbs/HP
Now add one 160 lb driver :
2616 lbs / 120 HP = 21.80 lbs/HP
Ha ha, I'd better go on a diet!
EDIT: 50 MPH max makes it no-problemo fine for around-town driving. I am guessing that it is "motorcycle-emissions" compliant.
