i was sure that the the three wheeler tested had a Citroen 2CV power unit. a 850 flat twin. they were sold in the us but fed. standards stopped Citroen here way back when. i hear that Canada is full of them, more or less. it was a very good sub vw bug car/truck. like a very, very plain suv. the bike testers said it was not fast on pickup. but it cornered as fast as any sports car. they loved it. its worth reading. back in the mid 60's( i think) think popular mechanics made a three wheeler with plans to short trip. it had some kind of a big lawn mower motor. it was short, high, and had the passengers way up front. i worud sit in a electric chair before i'd drive it far. three wheelers are light. but for going around corners and have places to put stuff, four is the way to go. right now i'd like to make a tube framed 850 or 1000 car with the motor in the back for street use. like a mini hot rod or sand buggy.
