The tricycle, also known as a trike, was a revolutionary mode of transport in the late 19th century, offering individuals a new way to travel and explore their surroundings. The design of this omnicycle is truly remarkable, showcasing three wheels for stability and maneuverability. With its sleek frame and intricate details, it's clear that a great deal of thought and craftsmanship went into creating this innovative vehicle.
