Daihatsu Midget
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Daihatsu Midget is a single-seat mini-truck made by Japanese automaker Daihatsu. Several distinct vehicles have borne the Midget name over the years, but all have had in common a single-seat utilitarian design, with an enclosed or semi-enclosed cab.
[edit] Midget I
The original Midget was made from 1957 to 1972. It had three wheels, two in the back, and one in the front. Early versions also had motorcycle-like handlebars in place of a steering wheel. The engine was an air-cooled 2-stroke design of 305cc which produced 12hp.
The Midget I has also been sold outside Japan as the "Bajaj" or the "Tri-Mobile"
[edit] Midget II
From 1996 to 2001, Daihatsu manufactured a 4 wheeled kei midget with available 4WD. As Keicars, they were equipped with 660cc engines, and air conditioning was available.
The Midget II was introduced as a concept at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show.
