A recreational vehicle, often home-built, characterized by the adaptation of an automotive cargo-carrying structure onto a small, open-wheel chassis. This involves repurposing components typically found in pickup vehicles, such as the outer shell or portions thereof, and integrating them with the mechanics of a scaled-down racing cart. An example is the fabrication of a miniature utility vehicle using the bed and cab section of a classic pickup, mounted upon a frame powered by a small engine.
The appeal of such a construction lies in its unique aesthetic and personalized design. It provides an opportunity for mechanical enthusiasts to engage in creative problem-solving and customization. The resulting machine offers a blend of familiar automotive styling and the agility of a smaller vehicle, creating a visually striking and functionally distinctive product.
