The intention was 2.5m long, 1.2 high and 1.295 wide (to sneak in under the 1.3m width that makes the car lighting regs easier). It will be slightly longer at the front to give clearance to the headlights and at the rear to make it look nicer.

It is also not quite as tall due to a slight error making the roof!

I'm working on something similar myself here in Italy, but I'm still undecided on the bodyshape.......

The dimensions would be similar, as the rules for motorcycles homologations are pretty similar in Europe, and I want it to be considerd a motorcycle with an extra wheel.
