Younger German boys also enjoyed playing with tricycles. The three wheels provided the increased stability that younger children needed for these play vehicles. We see quite a few boys with tricycles. Not as many as in America, but more than in other European countries--except perhaps Britain. Most example we have seen are after World War I. The first ones we see seem very basic. We generally see boys rather than girls riding them. We notice sevefal different styles and features. There were also different types of trikes. had pedal drives. We also see some boys with a tricycle like toy, but without pedal drive. With trikes we mostly see the children as might be expected playing around the house.
