The H-M-Vehicles Free-Way was a three wheel microcar manufactured in Burnsville, Minnesota, from 1979 to 1982. These small commuter cars had a single seat and were powered by a 12 or 16 HP gasoline engine or 4 to 6 HP electric motor. A diesel engine was offered, but none were ordered with it. The 12 HP version was guaranteed to get 100 mpg-US (2.4 L/100 km; 120 mpg-imp) when driven at a steady 40 mph (64 km/h). The 12 HP version averaged 80 mpg-US (2.9 L/100 km; 96 mpg-imp), and the larger 16 hp averaged 60 mpg-US (3.9 L/100 km; 72 mpg-imp) to 70 mpg-US (3.4 L/100 km; 84 mpg-imp). They had two wheels in front and a single chain driven wheel in the rear. The engine (or motor) was coupled with a snowmobile style CVT belt drive transmission. The gasoline-powered Free-Way did not have a reverse gear in its transmission, but the electric version did.
