My first thought also, you can put a full body on it but in many states any vehicle with either 2 or 3 wheels will be considered a motorcycle. I know it was that way in CA before I left.

Can Am
I thought the same thing. But the CanAm runs from 16 to 29K.
A lot of generalities, and the line that said it all was 'a $1000 deposit all but guarantees you one of the first collector edition models'.
Smoke & mirrors?

Back in the 50's, Messerschmidt sold a 3 wheeler automobile. The bubble top raised and you climbed in, with a very small storage area behind the rear seat. It was chain-driven from a motorcycle engine. It's all in the article.
I was a sackboy at an A&P grocery store then. the elderly woman who drove this "car" would never park where she had to back out.

I love a car with no bumpers offering a "Bumper to Bumper Warranty"
Maybe it's a bumper car?

The first Honda truck I ever saw was just an motorcycle engine enclosed something like in the picture of this "new" design, but a lot boxier, and with a small pickup style box in the rear, and on three wheels, and chain driven.
This sighting was in the mid 1950,s on a street in Sasebo, Japan. I was stationed there at the time and serving in the Navy and attached to a Minesweeper, MSC-209, USS Woodpecker (I'm not kidding).
I understand that Honda has improved their trucks a little since then!
