When I was a boy living in japan in the late 1950s, I was taken by the fleets of little three wheel trucks. I've always wanted something like that. Now electric three wheel trucks are being imported from China.

Zap!

Unfortunately it only does about 35mph with a range of 40 miles and costs $12,000. I reminds me of the first Subaru imported into the US in late 1960s. It was powered by a 360cc 25 hp two-stroke motor. I remember a magazine report that claimed you could take the amount of money a Subaru 360 cost and buy a used car, *any* used car, and be better off. One winter day in the early 1970s I was hitchiking north on Highway 99 in north Seattle during a snow storm (I think my car had broken down) and was picked up in one of these little Subarus. The magazine was right. Scary.
