From Autocycle.org:
Take a look at this very unique vehicle known as the Pulse Autocycle. There were about 350 manufactured between 1985 and 1990 in Owosso, Michigan by the Owosso Motor Car Company. The first 21 were called Litestars and then the name changed to Pulse.
Join us each year in Marion, Indiana on Saturday of Labor Day Weekend at the National Pulse Autocycle Convention.
These incredible machines were designed by the famous private jet manufacturer Bede and built between 1985 and 1990. Around 347 vehicles were made, the first 21 to be produced were called Litestars, later the name was changed to Pulse.
The Pulse uses two main wheels positioned at the front and rear of the vehicle, as well as two smaller outrigger wheels housed in the small winglets either side of the cockpit. Due to the positioning of the stabilizing side wheels only 3 wheels are in contact with the ground at any one time.
The chassis of the Litestar Pulse consists of welded steel tubing covered by a fibreglass shell. Inside the tandem-seat cockpit of the Pulse were an AM-FM radio cassette, lights, Full instruments, seat belts, and custom upholstery. This Pulse also has a front air suspension and running lights, including neon under the body.
The Pulse we are offering is #241. It utilizes the very powerful Honda V-65 1100cc 110 h.p. motor. It is water cooled and caplable of speeds up to 80+ m.p.h. Condition is beautiful, and the Pulse runs and rides as it should. Licenced as a motorcycle and Very easy to maneuver, they get more attention than anything you have ever seen! These are very rare and most are in the hands of collectors. Have a huge following with much support.
