Pimpin' Royal Tricycles

'Return of the Crown Prince' is a Trike Fit For A King

— April 9, 2010 — Autos
Made from metal, oak and cherry wood 'Return of the Crown Prince (A carriage for Haile Selassie)' is one royal tricycle. Selassie was the Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. The ride also features 23k gold leaf, vintage Sony boomboxes and speakers, car audio, electronics, mirror, velvet, rubber and Swarovski crystals.

The royal tricycle was created by Chicago artist Dzine (née Carlos Rolon). While it is more of an art piece than anything, maybe a filthy rich patron will purchase the royal tricycle for one very lucky child.
