Cariole
Cariole and carriole are names used for several different horse-drawn vehicles, including a Norwegian cart, a French cart, and a Canadian sleigh. The name is French in origin; however, the vehicles vary significantly.[1]Template:R/superscript The similarly sounding carryall is a New England term for a type of four-wheeled carriage.
Cariole — Norwegian cart
The Norwegian cariole is a very narrow two-wheeled cart designed for a single passenger, usually with a luggage rack or platform behind. Early examples lacked springs and relied on exceptionally long flexible [[Glossary of carriage and driving terminology#template:plain text|shafts]] to provide resilience, though later versions added spring suspension.[2]Template:R/superscript[3]Template:R/superscript
The Danish spelling of the Norwegian cariole is Script error: No such module "Lang".,[2]Template:R/superscript and a related Danish form is known as a Script error: No such module "Lang"..[3]Template:R/superscript
Carriole — French cart
In France, a Script error: No such module "Lang". is a light utilitarian cart. Although the name resembles the Norwegian term, the French vehicle is structurally different and served general transport rather than personal travel.[2]Template:R/superscript
Cariole — Canadian sleigh
In French-Canadian usage, a Script error: No such module "Lang". is a small low sleigh drawn by a single horse. The passenger seat for two is in the rear, and there is a low seat in front for the driver. Carioles were commonly used for winter travel over snow and frozen rivers.[4]Template:R/superscript[2]Template:R/superscript
Carryall — New England carriage
The term carryall was used in New England for a light rockaway carriage, a relatively large four-wheeled carriage. Despite the similarity in sound, the word is not derived from Script error: No such module "Lang". and refers to an unrelated vehicle type.[2]Template:R/superscript[4]Template:R/superscript[3]Template:R/superscript
