It's the letter 'o'.
At the front of 'one', at the back of 'two' and none in 'three'.

This is

a tricycle. 1 wheel in front, two in back. You would never need three wheels in either position.

    $\begingroup$ @JohnOdom en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricycle according to wikipedia it's called a tadpole tricycle. The more common example I references being called a delta tricycle. $\endgroup$ Oct 22, 2015 at 19:52

    $\begingroup$ Might be a good idea to edit that information into your answer. Currently it's link-only. $\endgroup$ Oct 23, 2015 at 9:04

  • $\begingroup$ Yeah I thought at first it probably wasn't the intended answer anyway but now I'm starting to think it may be. I'll delinkify it if that turns out to be the case =) $\endgroup$
