"Meet the 1985 Pulse Autocycle, a towable and jet-like vehicle with a sliding canopy and a set of tandem seats in the cabin. Produced in the US between 1985 and 1990, there were only around 326 built examples of the model by the Owosso Motor Car Company in Michigan. The car design was conceived by Jim Bede, an aircraft designer known for building small experimental planes,"
"The drivable automobile is configured with four wheels: two are the main wheels placed along the centerline, and two smaller outrigger wheels are mounted at the sides. At any moment, only three wheels touch the ground, and the outriggers stabilize the vehicle when turning or when stopped. These are connected to the main chassis with adjustable tie rods, allowing them to adapt to the movement of the vehicle."
The 1985 Pulse Autocycle is a towable, jet-like Ground Cruising Recreational Vehicle produced in the United States between 1985 and 1990, with about 326 examples built by the Owosso Motor Car Company in Michigan. The design originated from Jim Bede, an aircraft designer, and features a streamlined fiberglass body on a steel tube frame, tandem seating, and an acrylic sliding canopy that creates an aircraft-like cockpit. Early production as the Litestar occurred in 1983–1984 by Scranton Manufacturing before the name and production moved to Owosso. The vehicle uses a four-wheel arrangement with two main centerline wheels and two adjustable outrigger wheels for stabilization and handling.
