a three-wheeled vehicle powered by a steam engine, typically used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
A steam tricycle is a three-wheeled vehicle powered by steam, similar to a steam car but with a smaller, more compact design. It operates by heating water to produce steam, which powers the engine and moves the tricycle. These vehicles were part of the early development of motorized transport, popular in the 19th century. Steam tricycles were often used for short-distance travel and were known for their ability to generate a lot of power, though they were eventually replaced by more modern, gasoline-powered vehicles.
