I remember these from infomercials or ads in the 80s, and possibly from the State Fair, but I never really understood the choice of the SCAT name. If this comes with a VHS tape, don’t watch it – especially it there’s any German writing on it!
Basically, you get a gas engine, an air cushion, a big fan, a basic set of controls and the ability to go just about anywhere. Oh, you also get an old trailer. Not bad!

Styling? Well, it looks like a hovercraft.
Handlebars are clearly visible here, presumably with a cable for the throttle.
Aft of the fan shroud are the rudders.
Fuel tank is easier to replace than in a car!
