It's the awning. Being extended like it is, it acts as a wing, providing lift and greatly reducing the weight of the Scamp while underway. In prototype, proof of concept stage at present, the ultimate goal is to perfect an "auto-extend awning" allowing Scamps and other eggs to be towed by a Prius and similar small hybrid vehicles.

Mount the ball on front of tractor and you can manoever that trailer into the tighest driveways and spots. Will also need assistance covering the rear.

I mounted a ball on the front end loader of my tractor. Perfect for close maneuvering.

I like the short rear overhang, but with that short wheelbase and those inadequate brakes.... and surely it needs a transmission cooler!  Where's Carol, she should be all over this...

At 400 pounds, you could tow that with a Smart car. It has a 500 pound towing capacity.

Is this the same Floyd who attended the Scramble at Buffalo Valley last weekend? It looks like something he would do.
