A man sits in a unique three-wheeled single passenger motor vehicle. He demonstrates its maneuverability on the street. Cars and other traffic on the street are stopped to allow the demonstration. The machine includes an air-cooled internal combustion engine (like a motorcycle engine) and fuel tank, all mounted above the front wheel, which is capable of being rotated 360 degrees to allow complete maneuverability. The driver demonstrates this by driving backwards, without needing to use any reverse transmission.
