Never seen one of these on the streets

Saw one going through my neighborhood as I was leaving the other day and had to chase it down!

Not exactly sure, I did a bit of research on three wheeled cars but couldn't find the exact same car.

"Snyder" Chinese-built sorry excuse for a vehicle. There are some differences (rear door trim isn't black, and it has a single side marker in front, not double. But it looks to be the same vehicle, perhaps of a different year.

My old, old VW was 40HP and I think the the earlier ones were 36 HP.

It did OK in SF.

But it was probably 'torquier' than this.

Maybe a good toy for young grandchildren.
