Description

This machine is the Mauser Monotrace.

The Monotrace solved the problem of coming to a halt without falling over by having two small extra wheels (complete with mudguards) that were lowered by means of a elongated hand lever when stopping. The wheels were swiveled upwards rather than being retracted into the body, so even if the driver forgot to lower the wheels when stopping the car would tilt but not fall over completely.

It was powered by a 510cc single cylinder motor. Very few were made and even fewer survive today.
