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.

Can you buy one like that or is it purely custom?

That Spyder is a regular production trike

You can get one on Colonial, just east of metro.

This is pretty close to the top of the line (30k)

They also have one for about half that ($15k)

Amazing that it is only $15k. Friends wife bought an Organic Transit
electric bike. $8k.

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.
