A list of single person cars with two-seaters. :confused:
And what is it with the word "pedal" and derivatives thereof? ect. ! :rolleyes: OK, don't mind me, just had to vent that out, carry on. |
Add my Tempo to the list- all the seats were out except for the driver's.
I suppppose any word could be made bigger if you throw enough letttters at it. :rolleyes: |

If you want to come up with a list of "single-person cars", you need to define what a "single person" vehicle is. I say, it has seating for one, and was originally equipped to seat one. Not two. Otherwise the Chevrolet Corvette and half of Porsche's lineup qualifies, along with a hundred other boring cars. Now you need to define "car". I say a car has more than two wheels, and a fully enclosed cabin. A car can also travel at highway speeds. Thus a golf cart with doors is not a car, nor is a neighborhood electric vehicle. So, the Daihatsu Midget is the only "single-person car" that I'm aware of. The Peel P50 and Peel Trident would qualify if you shoehorned a modern two-cylinder into the engine bay. |
Bunch of them here. Check out the Owosso Pulse.http://thekneeslider.com/images/pulse.jpg

Besides, a car has to have somewhere for the dog to sit, otherwise I might as well ride a motorcycle. |
The Carver One.

^^^ Isn't a car, according to DOT.
Nice link for the motorcycle powered cars, by the way. I saved it. |
The "MILA" concept, powered by CNG:

alright, i've updated the OP expectations.

I am a single person, have been for some time.
I drive a subaru. seats 5 japanese or 1 american. ok j/k. The single driver cars are evil, like scooters. even a scooter at tiny cc doubled is a yugo seating 3 cramped, and whatever... power for what is max returned is efficient. single seat cars. why. why why...:rolleyes: I'd rather drive frank lee's bicycle. :thumbup: |
i'd buy this. some models are enclosed.
Scoot Coupe http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iN6_nIJQcb...s400/scoot.bmphttp://pk.b5z.net/i/u/6023538/i/scoot-coupe.jpg |
Me too... are we including trikes in the car thing, even though DOT calls them motorcycles?
If we are, I'd just about buy any one of them, given the money. |
this list is flexible. really.
1 person, plus cargo space.. even if it's a 2 passenger. i think i like limiting it to easily available cars, and affordable. i'll update the rules again. -- sorry, i cause such a confusing gray-area on the list. edit, 3 wheelers don't require motorcycle licenses. so yes, they are 'in'. |
Quote:
So it seems like we're looking at vehicles which follow the rules in normal production, correct? In other words, can't just say ( I took my seat out, it's a 1 passenger car!) |

'Cause if you only have one seat, you can remove a lot of body weight and frontal area, which means the car goes faster on the same engine. PS: Oh, yeah. Have you ever tried riding a motorcycle in a snowstorm? |
Does it need to be highway-capable, or what's the minimum top speed requirement?
|
Quote:
highway speeds allow flexibility for all circumstances. |
Ok, so minimum top speed? (35MPH is the lowest speed limit on open roads around me, 25 in town... as a suggestion)
|
highway speeds have a minimum of 45mph (72kph)
check my above (edited) post, i edited the restriction list |
Quote:
It also has to be a single person car with usable cargo space. So far, we have no engine requirements, but it must be able to sustain 45MPH under normal conditions. Now, we're getting somewhere with specifics. Should probably amend the rules to reflect this. |
yeah. i've been editing it like every other post :p
thanks for the run-down |
Quote:
Now that we've narrowed it down so far, I dont know if I know of anything that hasn't already been posted... LOL. |
dang. the $20K limit tosses the Ariel Atom out of the running....
|
the model i'm familiar with is not even US street legal.

If so, I recommend the first-generation Honda Insight. Here's one up for auction, which sells on Wednesday: Copart |
i'm just building a list in case anyone else has the same interest.
i am looking, but i won't make my mind up for months. the insight is a great car, but to purchase a car in CA when i live in OH just doesn't sound practical. especially the listed salvaged vehicle with front end damage. -- i am also surprised how hard it is to find used insights, especially early models. |
can someone identify this TTW "car" ?
in addition, can you submit links other than the links associated at this URL? Plug In America - Plug-in Vehicle Tracker http://www.pluginamerica.org/vehicles/TTW-One-250.jpg --thanks |

http://www.ttwvehicles.com/pcv/pcv.pdf It is actually a tilting motorcycle-based reverse trike with a recumbent seat. |
OK this is funny:
"Welcome to the WORLD OF TOMORROW!" http://www.autocycles.org/images/bede2000.jpg The body styling of the PULSE gives it a fantastic futuristic look, at the same time following form with function. The aerodynamic shape allows the vehicle to cut through the wind and results in unusually high fuel mileage and performance. The PULSE has ten (10) times less drag than a motorcycle and its rider. The body is also designed in such a way as to increase stability and directional control as speed increases. The drag coefficient is .193 From here:http://www.autocycles.org/index.html |

In a heartbeat!
Too bad only <400 were ever made.
It may be the closest thing to an Aptera anyone will ever get. I do hope the aptera gets built though. I bet if you said in 1980 that we would "all" be driving 5000 lb. 14mpg suburban "sport" type vehicles you would have been laughed off the roller rink. |

Quite a few fun-looking reverse trikes at Reverse Trike Motorcycle Club. Biotrike looks like a good candidate for the list.
