The ancestor of the trike is naturally the
Servi Car Harley-Davidson. Appeared in 1937, it was originally a commercial vehicle
with 3 wheels and an engine of 750 cm3.
Very appreciated
by deliverers for his big trunk situated in the center of the back axle,
it was the ideal fellow of the policemen who marked the tires of cars parked with a chalk at the end of a stick, the handle of gases having risen to the
left ! They returned one hour later…

Produced during 42 years, it was one of the H-D
models that known the biggest longevity.
|
|
It behaves with
a driving licence.
That puts this original vehicle within the reach of
everybody : motorcyclist or motorist.
Trike offers
driving sensations close to a motorcycle and a comfort and a stability more
closer than an automobile.
The triker is
an hybrid man, half motorcyclist and half driver, who has to play the right hand for the
speeding and the left foot for the clutch…

Classic Trike is conceived on the basis of the back frame of the mythical
Beetle with two generously sized back wheels, a fork, a front wheel and a
handlebar.

Some
trikes
more modern and more eccentrics with dream motorizations also makes their
appearance.
Outstanding models participate regularly in the
more prestigious bikeshow and win prices.
Ideal vehicle
for the driver in summer, may be the trike is not the ideal vehicle
for the biker in winter... same with a good hat, an old leather and stuck gloves.
Trike would be
equipped with a windscreen or a closed cockpit…

But it would seem that this vehicle already exists… Some claim that is called a car…
