Rubber tires on a tiny tiller, mounted behind a tiny bike?
Seems slow and safe...I think?

Was a free kids mini pink electric Vespa from Facebook market place.

Now 75v and does 43 mph w 6'4 220lb driver and weighs under 40lbs. Can toss her in the back seat or trunk of most cars. Pretty fun little budget project. Razor frames are built surprisingly well.

Okay. Spending the rest of my day asking........WHY???

yea I’ve seen one of those 212cc five speed mini bikes with the turbo.

Are you sure that's a turbo, I don't see a connection to the exhaust, but a peerless transmission... super cool. I really like the connecting rod belt tensioner.

I’m pretty sure that’s all just sculpture and it’ll never work, but heck, I could be wrong. At best, it’s a work-in-progress.

I doubt the transmission is there to allow for gear selection; my guess is it’s just left in “Reverse” to account for the crankshaft rotating the wrong way with the engine mounted facing cylinder forward. Issue there is reverse is usually geared down pretty slow.

Found scrolling and i’m also guessing just some yard art.

I hate to say it, but I see their 'vision' lol !

Minus some rust, plus some paint and motor, it could be a wild looking mini.

I had to double take and even then it still took me a second to figure it out.
