John's Journal - Car-in-a-Box

Surely you've heard of kit cars. From knockoffs of the legendary AC Cobra to Ferrari replicas built on Pontiac Fiero chassis, interested buyers can find replicas of countless different vehicles. Part of the appeal of kit cars is that owners get to assemble the vehicles themselves. But kit cars don't always have to be copies of existing models. Here's a look at one of the tiniest cars that's ever been sold as a kit.

yea just go buy some of those fabric doors like you get for jeeps, theyre only desinged to protect from the elements and weigh probably 1/2 a pound or less

[RyanChristianson]

Where can you buy this and how much does it cost?

[Yaz0ck]

50cc cab go pretty fast , it can get up top 70 mph

Thin plastic wouldn't add that much weight. But to be honest, no I had not thought about the extra weight of a heater. And yeah, I guess it really is just a glorified scooter. lol.

And if you seal it up, you add weight, which further taxes the engine. You know just how small 50 cc's is? To make it work, all economies must be taken.

Bear in mind that an electrical draw would tax the tiny engine, through the alternator. If anything, one might consider heated leathers like motorcyclists wear. It is, after all, a glorified scooter. ;)
