Although founded in 1851, the first
reported tricycle manufactured by Singer was in 1915. Many

The Singer Sewing Machine
Company manufactured this three wheeler, powered both by
foot pedals and cranked hand levers, hence the "Dual
Propulsion" name. It is steered by twisting the handle of
the right side crank lever, which is connected by a linkage
to the front wheel. Contemporary advertisements promote this
type of tricycle as suitable for folks who have lost the use
of their legs.
