A bit like this, in so far as it had one seat and rwd.
A bit unlike in so far as it had a 1340cc Harley V twin instead of pedals.
Here’s the unexpected thing.
The knowledgeable will recognise at once that it’s from a Civic (an unusual sight in itself, Civics being mainly manual here). No, I don’t know why it’s been swung through 180 deg. Yes, it must be awkward with the button on the left. No, I wouldn’t like my hand that near to a drive belt either.
It’s attached, naturally enough, to one of these.
Yes, it’s the Honda box it was originally attached to. Those who know their Hondas will know why a Honda unit had to be used.
You want to know more? Here we go.
Now, why did he have to use a Honda box and not say an Aisin or Ford one?

From a short google search and a wild guess, the Honda FWD gearbox is located to the left of the engine, Ford FWD gearboxes are to the right of the engine (as observed from the drivers position).

It’s actually the other way around, some Hondas are unusual in that the engine is on the left. This suits this build, because the output from the engine is on the left and so the belt drive goes straight back to the left hand side of the gearbox.
Like so:
