In my very important research today, I have come to believe that the motorcycle Ralph S. Mouse drove was 1/18th scale.
Back of the envelope calculations:
Book came out in 1965
Most Popular car in 1965 was the Chevy Impala
A '65 Impala is about 18 feet long.
A car that a mouse could drive, (which Ralph gets in the 3rd book,) might be about a foot long.
A foot long '65 Impala would be 1/18th of the size of a real one.
Bonus fun facts:
Two of my Smart ForTwo 451's could fit in the same space as a -65 Impala and not touch.
This was inspired by our having a mouse in the vending area.
