Or bump it up to a 1,000cc motor 4 stroke, or put a Porsche engine in the rear to drive the rear wheels, that baby would fly

GOLIATH MADE THESE 500cc MOTORS FOR THE THREE WHEEL TRUCK .
THEY HAD A SIMILAR MOTOR IN THEIR 4 WHEEL CARS & TRUCKS .
THE 4 WHEELERS WERE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE WITH AN EAST/WEST CRANKSHAFT
A GENERATION BEFORE THE MINI .
THEY HAD BOTH 700cc & 900cc SIZES . PERHAPS MOST AMAZING IS THAT THEY OFFERED FUEL INJECTED
PRODUCTION VEHICLES IN 1952 , TWO YEARS BEFORE MERCEDES WHO KEEPS CLAIMING THEY WERE FIRST !
MAN-O-MAN I BET MY TRUCK COULD DO 60mph WITH ONE OF THOSE MOTORS !
Premiered in 1952, the Goliath GP 700E anticipated a technology that was not adopted in mass production until the end of the 20th century. Back then, almost 50 years earlier, Carl F. W. Borgward first became enthusiastic about the potential of direct fuel injection systems. They could dramatically improve consumption, drivability and emissions, especially in conjunction with the two-stroke engines that were commonplace in 1952. The Goliath GP 700E was a sensation and set a milestone in automotive history; it was the first regular production car with direct fuel injection offered motorists an incredible 30 per cent reduction in fuel consumption compared with a carburettor version. Overrun fuel cut-off reduced emissions of the car’s neat 700 cc 29 hp two-stroke engine.
