The Pulse was designed by Jim Bede (who also designed the Bede line of airplanes) and built by the Owasso Motor Company.
The Pulse is actually a motorcycle with outriggers wheels attached. It seats two and advertised fuel consumption was 100 MPG. Most Pulses came with a 400 cc air cooled Yamaha engine with 6 speeds and chain drive with an electric motor for reverse. It rides on two automotive type wheels and tires. Each out rigger has a small 8" diameter wheel, and because only one wheel makes contact with the ground at a time, most states classify it as a three-wheeled motorcycle.
It has a 120" wheel base, total length of 192" and weighs approximately 1000 pounds. It has steering like a car, with clutch, brakes, and gas pedal on the floor just like a car. The gearshift, located on the right armrest, shifts sequentially like a motorcycle. The brakes and master cylinders are automotive type. The fuel tank is in the rear and has a capacity of three gallons.
Production began in 1984 and ended in 1990. In 1986 Owasso Motor Car Company made 101 cars. There were a total of 325 Pulses built, all by the Owosso Motor Car Company (OMCC), Owosso, Michigan.
