    The large handle on the left looks like some kind of clutch mechanism to connect the engine to the wheels. How does that work?

    Also, no brakes?

    indicates that the later 1887 model had "leather shoe brake" acting on the rear wheels.

    Hi Gang: Mrs. Benz made the first long distance trip to Munich in the first model. Our apprentice shop at Bosch Charleston made a working replica.

    They also built a Ford Quadracycle. There have been many replicas made of both. Carl.
