Like trying to wear bear traps on your feet, I'd think. And then a steering wheel at shin level?

Line 96: "The steering post extends up a sufficient distance to allow the rider standing on the platform to easily grasp the steering wheel . . ."
It has to be what, maybe two feet wide? Going over a surface which often looks flat and smooth but has different densities, sometimes inch by inch when one wind ripples the surface and a different one blows in loose fill.
I'm not familiar with one-lung engines of the 1920s, but from the size shown, I suspect it'd be about as powerful as a model airplane engine.
