What caused the person to make the invention? He wanted to help people get around easier.

What was the result of the invention how was it helpful?

The result was that it turned into the Mercedes-Benz. It was helpful because people don’t have to walk anymore and they can get around faster and farther. Also people had to use a train and horses. It will make the horse tired and you have to feed it and give it water. A train will stop at places you don’t want to go and it might stop at the place you want to go to last. That is why the three wheeled motor car is helpful.

How the invention works

How the three wheeled motor car works is the steering wheel is not round it is stick looking and when you want to turn you shift it left or right. It did not go fast like the cars we have now. It was a small car. Now we have bigger cars. Also the cars we have are stronger and can hold more stuff. Also the cars we have now can hold more people and can carry heavy things.
