The Soviet SMZ cycle-car was built in the city of Serpukhov from 1970 to 1997. They were primarily used by disabled drivers who were given the cars by the government on lease. Over the years, several models were made, and some can still be seen on the streets of Russia. The most popular model featured a 10 horse power engine and could go a whopping 55 mph! Here are some photos of these fascinating cars.
