    Anybody know what this is?

    I saw it driving down the street this evening and thought it was pretty cool. It sounded like a motorcycle.

    I think that is a Meyers Manx or a derivative of it by the looks of it, they use a VW Beetle aircooled four cylinder

    I just looked at the Myers Manx website and didn't see anything like this.

    a Manx was the closest thing I could think of

    interestingly, the same company that made what you took a picture of makes the utility ATV's or a clone of the ATV's that the light construction and maintance staff at my school uses
    clone?
    cloned?

    It looks like a clone from the website, the Chery engine used is a cheap chinese made unit. Chery is pretty known for ripping off other companies designs.
