Frame Vehicles

[myfayt]

I am going to pursue an idea of mine. It's to make frame vehicles, some models would be road legal and get 40 mpg with a top speed of 70 mph, others would be for recreation use.

I am going to build the first prototype at the beginning of the year, to give people an idea of what one is. I can build the entire thing for $1,200.

May be looking for partners or investors. But is anyone interested in something like this?

sounds like a very interesting idea good luck

Thank you, after I complete the first one I will post pictures of it and a video of it working, so everyone can get an idea of what I am talking about.

If you keep he dispacement low and and a small 14b turbo you will be able to keep the weight down while not looseing much on the MPG or preformance on the target speed

I was planning on using a 70cc/4 stroke engine. It will allow a key start and can be hooked up to a mph gauge and other stuff. I have a motorcycle that has 70cc and it weighs about 600 pounds and top speed of 60 mph.

So at 200 pounds for 70 mph, it comes out to
horsepower (hp) = 5.3539775214112 horsepower

Deduct the tire thickness and it comes out to about 5.0000
