"The tricyclecar, or trike, is a strange device in three wheels, at the midway between the motorbike and the car, its history goes back to the beginning of the 20th century. The dawn of the trike can be traced back to London in 1909, when Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan a pioneer in the field, revealed his first 'Runabout' ('toy car').
"Tricyclecars in general were powered by V-twin or inline 4-cylinder engines engines, with either air or water cooling. Engine capacities could be spread from 750 to 1100-cm3, according to the type of motor. The bodywork was generally in composite wood and metal, built upon a lightweight tubular chassis."
