Owosso pulse

The LiteStar and the Owosso Pulse were almost identical vehicles, originally designed by Jim Bede of BD-5 and BD-5J aircraft fame (among others). Bede created the original as a road going version of his airplane and called it a GCRV (Ground Cruising Recreational Vehicle). They were produced from 1985 through 1990, less than 400 total were built and somewhere around 150 are known to exist.

 

Early versions were powered by a Yamaha 400, then a Yamaha 450. There were versions powered by a Honda 450 Automatic, a Honda 750 and finally the Honda GL1100 and GL1200. There’s an electric reverse.
