1900 De Dion Tricycle Navigation
The 1900 De Dion Bouton Tricycle, also known as the 'Firefly,' was the result of many years of experimenting with steam propulsion before designers Jules-Albert de Dion and Georges Bouton developed the gasoline-powered engine featured on this tricycle. Yet, it is a hybrid of sorts; this all-original, superbly preserved example must be started with pedal power. Production began in 1895 with .05 horsepower, which increased to 2.75 horsepower by 1900.
With a single cylinder, the De Dion Bouton tricycle was the most successful motor vehicle in Europe in its heyday and remained in production until 1904.
In 1902 the French racer Georges Osmont set a speed record of 67.8 mph in Nice, France, on a tricycle like this.
