Yes, there are other 3-wheeled vehicles out there. Google has plenty of pics
and maybe Google will sell you one.

Yes. These are metermaid carts. Have you seen a meter maid drive around?
Man, can they drive around all day! Like non-stop! It's crazy!! It's like a

That depends on surface tension, but if my GO-4 Intercepter actually had
some gauges, I bet mine goes 40 something MPG. Less when under water.

I love my Union Worker Grade seat in mine. But I have a tight cute butt.
Your butt may be different.
