Scarab STM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Scarab STM (Sport Transport Module) was a 3-wheeled car designed and manufactured, in the United States of America, around 1975. The car was manufactured by Fiberfab, a company founded by Warren "Bud" Goodwin. The vehicle was a reverse trike design utilizing VW Beetle front suspension married to a rear motorcycle running gear. The scarab is considered the most rare of the Fiberfab line, with unconfirmed reports that only 6 were ever produced.

A road test in Popular Science Magazine (October 1975) noted the prototype vehicle, powered by a 900cc Kawasaki, produced a 14 second 1/4 mile, reached 80 mph in third gear, and handled banked turns at 40 mph with ease.

The Scarab featured no doors, access into the vehicle was made by the top portion of the vehicle lifting up and forward
