Tatra Mountains 49

The Tatra Mountains 49

The Tatra 49 was a three-wheeled delivery cart that the Tatra factory in Nesselsdorf brought out in 1929 .

The vehicle had an overhead , air-cooled single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 528 cm³ and an output of 7 hp (5.1 kW). The engine had a sack cylinder (cylinder head that could not be removed) and drove the individual rear wheel via a two-disc dry clutch and a three-speed gearbox with a stick shift lever. The maximum achievable speed of the 515 kg cart was 60 km / h. The chassis had a central tube, a front axle with a transverse leaf spring and a single rear wheel in a swing arm with a longitudinal leaf spring.

The front half of the vehicle was a flatbed with a hinged lid. The driver sat behind it on a tractor seat on the right and operated the axle pivot steering of the front axle with a steering wheel.

In 1930 production of the vehicle without a successor was stopped.

In 1932, after a processing period of two and a half years, the German Reich granted the patent for the Tatra 49, i.e. only after production had ceased.
