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.

I'm sure it was an option, but there was an enclosed cab model too!

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

Id seriously thought of taking my semi-v jon boat and mounting a v7 in it. I was going to shroud the engine, and then mount a 55a. VW bug alternator on top of the engine and do riddance of the 15a Marelli generator. Thus allowing me to use an electric fan to cool the engine.

Then get rescue a 'trash pump' from a clapped out PWC, hook it up to a steering stick and have at it.

Hopefully this would be the end result... sort of (skip vid to 1:01)

That looks wider but it could be designed that way to handle the bed.
