The idea of the three-wheeled truck was basically an evolution of the motorcycle, in fact Mazda's earliest trucks, have handlebars instead of a steering wheel, and a saddle instead of a seat. These "batanko" trucks (nicknamed after the sound they make) are sort of like covered scooters. They can haul just fine, but are geared low to do it, the Midget tops out at about 40mph.
