J. Lehaitre of Paris, France and his 1938 invention

May 4, 2025 by Mike

Named the “tractor-cycle”, the novel vehicle is said to be superior to an ordinary motorcycle in its ability to climb steep and rough grades, although its speed on level ground is limited to about 25 m.p.h. Steering is accomplished by handlebars which control a sideways motion of the drive belt.
