I was checking thru some pdf creation videos, and encountered this U-tube clip :-

Anyone ever heard of this "MiHelic"? Looked interesting, sounded pretty good.

Just NO.

I guess the increased number of wheels (over the bike) puts the engine into something probably more suited to it.
Ultimate application for the power unit would be a MF35 or other small chassis.

Something different is always good to see but I suspect this would be a lot of noise with little go. Harley engines are archaic lumps but at least some character shines through in a bike or even possibly a 3 wheeler.
In a car like this its difficult to see the appeal (unless your partially deaf)
It reminds my of years long gone when in the search for performance we fitted an open exhaust to 850cc mini.
The traffic lights changed to green, the engine roared, slip the clutch and red line it in first, up through the gears, once ,twice, into fourth, the sound was awesome the g force less so, a glance at the speedo and we touched 40

I think I'd stick with the current Morgan 3-wheeler, with it's much-modified Harley engine - a much more suitable vehicle.

Well I for one like it, but then again I've got a soft spot for harleys as ive owned and tuned a few in my time, as others have said they are an ancient design blah blah blah, but what the engines do make is bundles of torque at low rpm, it's quite easy to build a 125/125 bhp/torque engine, nothing great but enough to get you along ok in a lightweight 7 type car.

As for the handling, harleys werent always sleds, back in the times of the translantic races of the 70's a certain cal raybourn came over from the states on his " crappy old pushrod harley" and prompty won 3 out of 6 races, the pi$$ taking soon stopped.

Reminds me of John Bolster's "Bloody Mary", which also used 4 x m/cycle engines. IIRC it was a beast to handle, as will this Harley device (look more closely at that chassis!).
