FEATURES IN THESE COLLECTIONS
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a De Dion Bouton powered tricycle, available with both steel and wooden rims, circa 1894. This historical photograph showcases the innovative design of this early bicycle, which was a popular mode of transportation during the late 19th century. The De Dion Bouton tricycle, named after its creators, León Serpollet and Charles Trépardoux, was a significant advancement in the world of cycling. Powered by a De Dion-Bouton engine, this tricycle offered a smoother ride compared to its pedal-powered counterparts. The addition of a motor made it an attractive alternative for those seeking more speed and convenience. The photograph features two versions of the tricycle - one with steel rims and another with wooden rims. Both options catered to the diverse preferences of consumers during this era. For those seeking a more durable and robust choice, the steel rims would have been the preferred option. On the other hand, the wooden rims, with their classic appeal and lighter weight, would have appealed to those who valued a more traditional cycling experience. Another notable feature of this tricycle is the thicker tyres, which were an optional extra. These tyres provided better traction and stability on various terrains, making the De Dion Bouton tricycle a versatile and practical choice for both urban and rural environments. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of cycling and the technological advancements that shaped the industry. The De Dion Bouton tricycle represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of transportation, bridging the gap between traditional pedal-powered bicycles and the motorized vehicles that would soon follow.
