Recorded originFrance
ClassPioneer voiturette and motor tricycle
A distinct 1899 Dalifol & Thomas three-wheeler reported with a 'dust-proof' two-speed constant-mesh gearbox. Accessible evidence does not prove that it was another name for the four-wheel L'Abeille, whose open two-seat form and different friction-clutch description are separately documented, so both are retained while the relationship remains unresolved. No dimensions, engine specification, body arrangement or output claim is invented.
