Fabrique National
Model A.S. 24
A cross-country three-wheeler tested by the army was the FN Model A.S. 24, built by Fabrique National D'Armes De Guerre in Herstal, Belgium. First offered in 1962, it was tested by the US Army in May 1963. It weighed 374 pounds, and could carry 770 pounds of men and equipment. Standing only 2 feet 10 inches high, it used a model FN 24 engine, which was a two-cylinder, two-stroke, 15 cubic inch engine developing 15 horsepower. The cross-country characteristics, compared with the three-wheel version of the Jeep, were enhanced somewhat by the 12x22 Lypsoid tires. Only one was obtained for test purposes.
from Richard Rongstadt's article in the Soldier Of Fortune Magazine
1964 Operation Dragon Rouge (Red Dragon) Stanleyville, Congo
Belgian Paracommandos armed with Vigneron 9mm M2 submachine guns on FN trikes speed across Stanleyville airport to rescue hostages being held/murdered by Simba rebels.

Bicycling in a straight line generates wonderful targets for automatic weapons fire. But I'm sure your Men of Steel already know that ;)
