Harley-Davidson Servi-Car

The Harley-Davidson Servi-Car is a three-wheeled utility motorcycle that Harley-Davidson made from 1932 to 1973. Designed during the Great Depression to widen the company's product base, it was aimed at the automotive service trade: a garage worker could tow a customer's car to the shop with it, or deliver a repaired car and ride the Servi-Car back. It could carry a tow bar and a large 60 Ah battery, and it also became a popular utility vehicle for small businesses and mobile vendors and, above all, for police departments, some of which still used it into the 1990s. It was offered in several box configurations from 1932, used variations of the company's 45 cubic inch flathead engine, and in 1964 became the first civilian Harley with an electric starter, a year before the Electra Glide.
