Originally used to describe very lightweight horse-drawn vehicles for one or two persons,[1] the term was extended to lightweight automobiles as they became popular.[2][3] As automobiles became increasingly sophisticated, the term briefly dropped out of use before being revived to describe more specialised off road vehicles.[4][5][6]
