I thought it was a Cushman from the pics until I clicked on the link. 

You need that at the airstrip to move gliders around.

It looks like an Isuzu tuk tuk....

I've always wondered what the benefit of a single front wheel is in applications like this. Anyone have ideas?

In reply to Robbie :

Very tight turning circle for crowded Japanese cities, less overall part count for cheaper manufacture. IDK if Japan has easier licensing for driving 3 wheels like the UK does.

Licensing and taxes for a motorcycle instead of a car.

Any idea what powers it?  Speedo goes to 60 mph.

The BAT listing from 4 years ago says it's a TM15 powered by a 2 cylinder OHV 1100cc motor of some sort.  Judging from the hood rust pattern it's the same trucklet.

Here's the other BAT listing with more info on them
