The factory began producing motor three-wheelers in the late 19th century. The model on display is a three-wheeled Tri (from the word ‘Three-wheeler’ or ‘Tricar’) model, powered by an air- cooled single-cylinder De Dion engine, located behind the rear axle and with a gear transmission. Thousands of these three-wheelers were built over a period of about ten years. It was a De Dion three-wheeler that sparked Carlo Biscaretti’s great passion for cars.
