That is one crazy vehicle. Before you posted the pic of the real one, I thought they were some cross-over Fantasy/Castle/Harry Potter centaur thing.

Where the heck are these things used???

This pic shows how the real thing was steered by shifting body weight on a pivoting platform.

Specs from another site:

6 horsepower

15km/h top speed

Load capacity 2 tonnes

Never seen anything like that before, but you've really nailed it - these are brilliant replicas. Steering a motor vehicle by shifting your body weight? Sounds like Segway, only 50 years earlier...

And compliments on your photo skills. Super crisp.

Nice rendition of thses peculiar vehicles!

I remember seeing them somewhere years ago, and I was facinated by the ingenious steering mechanism :thumbup:
