A Pulse is a motorcycle. It rides on 2 main wheels and has 2 outrigger wheels (one on each side). It is classified in most states as a 3 wheel motorcycle. It has a 123" wheelbase and an overall length of 192" X 76" width X 54" height and weighs about 1000 lbs.The Litestar/PULSE is a "GCRV", or Ground Cruising Recreational Vehicle. This new term appropriately describes the PULSE because the vehicle has the performance and acceleration of a motorcycle engineered into a comfortable weatherproof vehicle with many of the attributes of an automobile. An alternate term for the PULSE is an "autocycle".Its body resembles a high performance jet aircraft, yet drives like a sports car.

The PULSE provides a driving experience unequalled in any other type of vehicle.The Litestar/PULSE is a two (2) wheeled vehicle equipped with an additional two (2) wheels, located as outriggers, one on each side. The outrigger wheels provide balance for the vehicle when it is at rest or in a turn.As the gyroscopic action of the main wheels increase the outriggers no longer bear weight. It is impossible to tell which outrigger is touching the ground until a turn is made if the air shocks are at the right pressure.With no more than three (3) wheels in contact with the ground at any one time, the Litestar/PULSE is considered a three (3) wheeled vehicle & is licensed as a motorcycle. In certain states a special category of license has been created, such as in Michigan, appropriate for the Litestar/PULSE, an "autocycle."The body styling of the Litestar/PULSE gives it a fantastic futuristic look, at the same time following form with function. The aerodynamic shape allows the vehicle to cut through the wind and results in unusually high fuel mileage and performance. The Litestar/PULSE has ten (10) times less drag than a motorcycle and its rider. The body is also designed in such a way as to increase stability and directional control as speed increases. The drag coefficient is .193Owosso Litestar #4 Was purchased by me for a neighbor of mine. He turned 80 and wanted to have one . He drove it this past year and is ready to let someone else enjoy it. At the present time it is sitting in my barn and I need to make way for some other projects. Its a great driver and great fun to drive. The original dash was removed as it fell apart. I do have a new dash for it but will need to be installed . mileage unknown. The paint on it is fair. The tires have all been replaced and the previous owner spent a lot of time working on it. This is a great Litestar / Pulse for someone who does not want to spend a lot of money for a nice restored One. All the glass is good. I have the covers for the headlights and tail light. I have the covers for the side as well. This Litestar does not have the Reverse Gear. It does not have the tow bar hooks like the later models did , but both items could be added on.
