The Baja Warrior 2-seater/2 rear wheels  ??? is interesting..
I would consider installing a remote controlled hitch pin on the rear-most wheel/chair;the rear passenger gives you too much grief:pull the rear hitch pin and let them ride off on their own unicycle wheel.. free wheeling  :D
Drop some excess weight..

Yep, Honda ST, the only other configuration like that is a Motus, it is not a Motus.

LOL. What a pitch man. I would say rescue this, but the Gouch bag is too proud of it.

I hope he's not on the forum. He's going to make it run as soon as someone shows up with cash in hand.

Very true, it often does not.
A high percentage of customizations make vehicles less desirable than the stock item.

That's what makes it so difficult to sell.
I think the builder should keep it;or part it out..  ::)
