When cars are too expensive, make your own.

You could probably make something a bit better than this, but here is one for ideas.

It's ingenious, but that engine(?) might make the front passenger's ride slightly uncomfortable. Where is the picture from? Africa?

Cambodia

I have also seen another one but did not have my phone with me at the time.

Then there are 3 wheeled home made vehicles.

It looks like the same car they have on display outside a restaurant on 214/ 51 or thereabouts.

Cheap riders from Java
2 /3 / 5 wheels, barbwire, goat skull, car wheels on d.i.y frames, any idea, you name it, they did it, some are still rolling now.

Sorry for the damaged / modified photos. The originals and many more are somewhere else, can't find them now

They ARE extreme vespas from Java.
Yeah, big gatherings here and there. Freewheelers. Lots of fun and smoke and punks.

If you want to be environmentally friendly and not use fuel at all.

I have thought about making something like this, but I probably never will. You could make it pedal with electric assist, and the roof could be solar panels.

You could even make it with a back seat, and a space for luggage, and call it an environmentally friendly alternative to a tuk tuk.
