Re:

The running gear is one thing but imagine going out on the open road. You`d be so low that you would be effectively invisible to a lot of higher vehicles. Terrifying!

To be fair, it's probably no worse than some modern recumbents:

I'd like to try one, but I agree, having your head at about bumper height must be fairly disconcerting, not to mention your face at about exhaust pipe height, they can't be particularly pleasant to use in city traffic.

Re: Re:

But...As a vehicle its utterly hopeless but as a historical bit of bonkersness its totally cool.

I imagine you could improve a great deal on the original if you fitted a modern motor and a lithium battery set-up.

Stick a couple of 5th scale brushless motors plus a nice sized 12s battery pack in there and do burnouts.......... or wheelies

Mid 1980's, not 90s. And even then it was considered crude.
