Introduction to the Historical Original
The original model that the displayed model is based on is a small, three-wheeled utility vehicle with a long and interesting history. The Tempo Hanseat is a vehicle produced by the German manufacturer Vidal & Son Tempo-Werk. This particular generation of the Tempo Hanseat was manufactured from 1953 to 1956. The introduction of this vehicle provided a solution to the growing need for economical and compact delivery vehicles. The three-wheeled construction and the ability to be loaded with various attachments made the Tempo Hanseat a versatile vehicle that was used in many urban and rural areas. Its predecessor was the Tempo E400, another three-wheeled vehicle but with some technological limitations compared to the Tempo Hanseat.
Technical Data and Features of the Original
The Tempo Hanseat was known for its simple yet robust technology. It was powered by a two-stroke engine with approximately 400 cc (24 cubic inches) of displacement, producing about 12 hp. The engine was located in the front of the vehicle and drove the single front wheel, while the two rear wheels provided the vehicle's load capacity and stability. The payload varied depending on the attachment but often hovered around 750 kg (1653 pounds). A distinctive feature of the Tempo Hanseat was its easy handling and low maintenance costs, making it popular among small businesses.
