Apparently there were over 15,000 of these made by various manufacturers. It was one of the first widely successful motor vehicles.

[@marcellocoppolecchia3046]

Erano vendute con tre possibilità di rapporto finale alla ruota, pianura, discesa e salita. Era disponibile anche la versione con due ruote anteriori e poltroncina per il passeggero.

I gasped when you stepped away and I saw it was a trike!

How does that wonderful machine drive the wheels?

[@FrankTheRatRomero]

@@brushbros It's a chain drive. If you notice, he uses the bike pedals to start it.

[@williamarmstrong646]

Shouldn't it have a surface carb?

[@FrankTheRatRomero]

Have no idea.

[@williamarmstrong646]
