Hotrodhawg – Harley Powered Roadster

By Paul Crowe

Hotrodhawg - Harley Powered Roadster
Here’s the latest in the ever growing collection of motorcycle powered cars. The Hotrodhawg is an open wheel two seat roadster powered by a Harley Davidson V twin engine. The tube chassis is covered with a fiberglass body, there’s a 3 speed automatic transmission with overdrive and an 8 gallon fuel tank for a total weight of 1350 pounds. I think it looks sharp however I’m not sure what the performance will be with the Harley engine, no numbers are given, but with the relatively light weight and the torque available from the V twin, it might make for a very enjoyable cruise.

On the dealer website, price is $29,000 without the engine which then makes me wonder if the 1350 weight figure is for a no engine roller you assemble yourself. Nice looker, though.

    I think my VW bug has a similar power to weight ratio and it only cost me $300 10 years ago. I think the idea is to cruise around town, blipping the throttle and being a typical harley-owner-nuisance. I’m sure it would be fun nonetheless but a Guzzi powered Morgan trike replica would appeal to me 100 times more so.

    If you look beyond the obvious Harley connection, the concept is appealing. Caterham cars have endorsed bike engined versions of their cars.
    A small displacement (by automotive standards), highly tuned engined auto can make sense.

    How many Honda Beats have been sold through out the world, or for that matter, any of the Japanese “K” cars.

    Anyone considering a Lotus “7” styled car or similar , could use the “Hothawg” as the staring point of a fun , economical, and economical to operate limited use car.
