The 1899 armoured quadricycle must have spawned this 1956 armoured Vespa scooter ...

I believe a 6.5 Swedish Mauser, a 7mm Spanish Mauser, a 7.65 Belgian Mauser, an 8x57 German Mauser, a 303 Enfield or a 30/06 Springfield would all go right through that tiny piece of armor. It probably would stop pistol bullets or shrapnel.

The Italians called these “Schmedlap Cycles”. There’s always one troublemaker in every outfit. The Italians would take that guy and put him on a Schmedlap Cycle for anti-aircraft duty.

The back end looks like it might be a “recoilless” rifle.

They could just aim below the “armor” and hit him in the nads.

You have to grant that a rig like this would discourage tail-gating...
