Greg has put together a lot of information.

If Guzzi could put together something like this, you'd think they could make a boat.

* While not the first Moto Guzzi three-wheeler we’ve seen here, the
Mulo Meccanico differs from the
Ercole in that it offered three-wheel-drive and the ability to
quickly add tracks to the rear wheels
for difficult terrain.



Looks like three "wheel" drive in that photo. Do you think the front
wheel is powered, too? There are small AT mini bikes that are two-wheel
drive.

I don't think so. Moto Guzzi also made a similar vehicle that had
wheels on the rear instead of the
tracks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwjJuvFOtp4


Trikes are really pretty popular these days. I guess they were on the
leading edge back then.

The VM conversion was all the rage in the 60s and 70s. I have seen
totally custom trikes with V-8s. That is scary


One of the fears is that Congress will decide that those things are close
enough to autos to follow
the safety requirements of autos. This thing is getting pretty close to
being an automobile.

Those amaze me. Have a friend with one. Very stable. I remember the old
3 wheeler police bikes,and meter maids. Those trikes would flop over if you
looked hard at them.
