How to spot one

Look for

  • Fully enclosed, narrow tandem cabin: the passenger sits directly behind the central driver.21415
  • Upward-opening scissor doors have glass in their lower sections.14
  • Bare black-and-gray plastic with color stickers; front and rear bumpers share the same shape.414
