Those plastic 3 Wheelers came out a little late in my childhood but I can identify.

Plastic 3 wheelers?
You mean Big Wheels?
Back in the 80s, we use to get drunk as hell at hurricane parties and ride those up and down the neighborhood roads during the storm.
Good times…
Seeing how that is a 500 Polaris power valve engine, out of a sled, it makes just over 105 HP. I think it has more than enough beans to roast most any go kart tire put on that thing.
Two local brothers put wheels on their snowmobile must be forty years ago. We stopped on the gravel road with deep ditches on both sides to watch as one of them powered the rig into one of the ditches at full speed. He ended up bruised and scratched up but mostly ok. End of experiment.
Colin Furze (on youtube) built a couple of these, one gas powered, welded frame, etc., and one out of materiels you could get at a hardware store, and then an electric one. He also built spherical steel wheels for use on grass.

That looks fun.
I have seen racing go carts put metal bands on the rear tires to reduce the contact patch so they could do burnouts like this.

There exists a company that will convert your jet ski into a motor scooter, if you have that kind of money to pi$$ away and the will to do so.
