01
Artifact Overview
Lucius D. Copeland patented a three-wheeled, steam-powered vehicle in 1887. He built a working prototype, and the Moto-Cycle Manufacturing Company -- formed in Philadelphia in 1890 -- acquired the rights to Copeland's patent. The short-lived Moto-Cycle company existed for no more than a year, and it did not manage to sell any vehicles.
