The H-M-Vehicles Free-Way (H-M meaning high mileage) was a three-wheel microcar manufactured in Burnsville, Minnesota, from 1979 to 1982.[1]
These small commuter cars had a single seat and were powered by a Шаблон:Cvt gasoline engine[2] or a 4 hp electric motor.[3] A diesel engine was offered,[2][3] but none were ordered with it.[2]
The 12 HP version was guaranteed to get Шаблон:Convert[2][3] when driven at a steady Шаблон:Convert.[2] The 12 HP version averaged Шаблон:Convert, and the larger 16 hp averaged Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Citation needed The standard fuel tank had a capacity of Шаблон:Convert[3][4] while a Шаблон:Convert tank was optional.[3]
The engine was mounted behind the driver and was coupled to a snowmobile-style CVT belt drive transmission. Final drive to the rear wheel was by chain. The gasoline-powered Free-Way did not have a reverse gear in its transmission.[2][3] An electrically powered reverse drive was offered as an option,[2][3] but was never made available.[2]
The Free-Way had a welded tubular steel frame, with a secondary perimeter frame at bumper height to protect the driver from impacts. Suspension was fully independent, with two wheels in front and a single wheel in the rear. The fully enclosed two-piece fiberglass body was approximately Шаблон:Convert thick and had the color molded into the material and was available in high-visibility red, yellow, or orange.[3] The lower body included a full undertray to reduce the drag coefficient of the vehicle.[3][4]
The Free-Way had a single headlight and per federal standards were intended to be licensed as a motorcycle, but in some states they were titled as cars.[5]
About 700 Free-Ways were sold before the company closed in June 1982.[6] Шаблон:Clear left
