The retired workshop owner Dan Hryhorcoff needed something to spend his life on when his working life came to a standstill. So he built himself a radio car with license plates.
If you don't know what to do when you reach retirement age, you can do like Dan Hryhorcoff.
He lives in Lackawanna County in the US state of Pennsylvania. When the corona pandemic hit, he needed something to do. Burn off retirement, in other words.
It turned into a grown-up radio car. It is above all registered and approved for traffic on public roads. It can be done because Dan's creation is technically a three-wheeled motorcycle.
Dan has modeled it all after a Lusse Auto Skooter from 1953. A popular radio car then as it is today. Beneath the enlarged exterior lies an automatic gearbox coupled to a 1.6-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine.

The car uses Dan Hryhorcoff because he can. That means everything from meetings to the Sunday morning trip to the bakery and the usual day-to-day carousel. The bodywork itself is otherwise built of fiberglass.
The story does not say anything about how he got the creation approved. But can you name something that has less chance of being approved for street use in Denmark? We have a hard time thinking of anything.
Although it is unthinkable that the radio car would be approved in this country, it is not the first time that wild creations with wheels underneath appear on the roads.
Something completely different is the question of when a license plate is appropriate or directly standing. There are also different views on that. Lars Einar Ulrichsen's number plate, for example, is completely illegal in Sweden. Read more about it here .
