Cursor was a brand of micro vehicles produced by Replicar Ltd., a company based in Dunkirk, Faversham, Kent, United Kingdom. Established in 1985, the brand aimed to provide an innovative form of transportation for young individuals aged 16 and older who were not yet eligible for a full driving license. The Cursor was introduced as a unique single-seater three-wheeled coupe, characterized by its unconventional design and described as a "GT hatchback convertible."
The vehicle featured a fiberglass body mounted on a tubular steel chassis, with a mid-mounted 49cc Suzuki CS50 moped engine. It achieved a top speed of 30 mph and boasted impressive fuel efficiency, consuming approximately 90 miles per gallon. Following the initial production of around 50 units, a two-seater version was developed, which included a more powerful Suzuki CP50 engine and gull-wing doors. The final ten units of the two-seater variant were equipped with Honda Vision moped engines.
Most of the later models produced were exported to Austria. Eventually, the Cursor project was sold to a Belgian firm; however, production in Belgium reportedly never commenced. The brand's production spanned from 1985 to 1987, marking a brief but notable chapter in the history of micro vehicles.
