The design first appeared in 1903, on a tricycle with collapsible front wheels, whereby it could be wheeled through a narrow gateway. A powered version was exhibited at the late-1905 Stanley show, and had a 2½ hp engine fitted just behind the front axle.
Although it was a clever idea, it did not catch on.
