Per digitalmaster:

Saw one at the beach last week - but cannot recall make/model.

If you make your own bio-diesel you have a utility vehicle that can tow a
trailer
to do some usefull work around the property, or use it for hunting. It was
said that
it gets about 130 miles per gallon in one article that I read. It would also
be great
for some boaters that cruise to undevloped areas. You can fuel it from your
own
fuel tanks, and cruise from your ancorage to explore, or restock your
supplies that
you may have to lug for some distance. This has been a problem for some who
cruise the cannals in Europe, where some barges are large enough to carry a
car, some are not.

When I've been on canal trips we had no trouble walking to the shops actually.
It makes for a fun kind of holiday btw.

Actually it's a grown up version of the Tote Goat or offroad mini bike.
Lot's of uses, and excuses to buy one for fun

They give enviros orgasms over how they're saving the universe by burning
something other than petroleum products.

Yeah, what a bunch of wackos; caring about the environment, greenhouse
emmisions, limited resources, crap like that.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Biodiesel refers to a diesel-equivalent, processed fuel derived from
biological sources. Though derived from biological sources, it's a processed
fuel that can be readily used in diesel-engined vehicles, which
distinguishes biodiesel from the straight vegetable oils (SVO) or waste
vegetable oils (WVO) used as fuels in some modified diesel vehicles.

In this article's context, biodiesel refers to alkyl esters made from the
transesterification of both vegetable oils and/or animal fats. Biodiesel is
biodegradable and non-toxic, and has significantly fewer emissions than
petroleum-based diesel when burned. Biodiesel functions in current diesel
engines, and can supplement fossil fuels as the world's primary transport
energy source.

Biodiesel can be distributed using today's infrastructure, and its use and
production are increasing rapidly. Fuel stations are beginning to make
biodiesel available to consumers, and a growing number of transport fleets
use it as an additive in their fuel. Biodiesel is generally more expensive
to purchase than petroleum diesel, but can be made at home for much cheaper
than either. This differential may diminish due to economies of scale, the
rising cost of petroleum and government tax subsidies.

I wonder how may "miles-per-centrifugal-clutch" it gets on biodiesel?

I remember centrifugal clutches from many small vehicles. "Self-
consuming" comes to mind.

Note to boaters....it ISN'T street legal in the USA. Point moot.

Those concerned with the environment can reduce emissions to zero by NOT
buying one of these and STAYING HOME. How many are towed on a trailer by
some environazi behind their Ford Expedition?....(c;

Yeah, right....

My nuclear-powered scooter works great on the boats. Folds flat for easy
storage and recharging:

16 miles at 8mph. Also not street legal, but our cops treat it like a
geriatric electric vehicle so you can ride it on the scooter-friendly
sidewalks without harassment...(c; Recharges in about 3 hours from dead.

--Neat site; thanks for the link! FWIW one of the great things about
the Tote Goat is the box-section frame, which provides a *lot* of real
estate for engine hacking. A friend of mine runs a steam power plant in his
as it's got room on board for Propane fuel, flash boiler and a honkin' big
water tank. Not sure what the range is, but it's decidedly low tech and has
a real third world flavor, heh.
