1940 Moto Guzzi E

.R, Italy. The model produced from 1938 till 1942 became a great leap forward compared to previous models. Trike has got a brand new frame made of pressed steel. Rear wheel rims and their swinging arms were also made of pressed steel. A gear unit (three forward gear + reverse gear) was integrated with an engine. The machine had a 1,000 kg load-carrying ability. The trike was equipped with a chain drive, and a simple band brake was replaced with two drum brakes with mechanical actuation. The field forces used E.R. rarely. The primary consumer was the National Air Defense Forces of Italy (UNPA). The UNPA widely used the machine for clearing the debris and fire-fighting operations. Its special cargo box could hold a lot of various tools. #ww2 #worldwar2 #guzzi #unpa #motoguzzi #italy #army #military #history #motorcycle #instabike #instamoto #vintage #vintagemotorcycle #antique #retro #equipment #tricycle #motocarro #huge #italianbikes #trike #tricycle #likenew #firetruck #classicmotorcycle #rarebikes #italianmade #1940 #classic
