Company history
The company A. Felber & Co was a well known manufacturer of motorcycle sidecars in Vienna and began 1952 with the production of automobiles. In 1954 the production was stopped. The designer was Ernst Marold. Felber was a long-time dealer in three-wheeled vehicles such as Heinkel / Trojan and Reliant . The main business, however, was the manufacture of "Austromat" industrial washing machines.
vehicles
Car scooter
The only production model was a tricycle with the single wheel at the rear. The used two-cylinder - two-stroke engine of Rotax had 398 cc engine capacity and drove to the single rear wheel. The vehicle had no doors. The roof and side windows can be folded back in one unit for getting in and out. About 400 copies were made.
Two car scooters were exhibited in the RRR Roller, Rollermobile & Wurlitzer museum in Eggenburg . The collection was dissolved. A large part of the collection was auctioned by Dorotheum in July 2020, but the two Felber were not there.
Gull
The coachbuilder Hofmann & Moldrich from Vienna produced ten or twelve copies of a coupé named Möve , which resembled the Fuldamobil, on the chassis of the Felber Autoroller between 1953 and 1954 .
The only remaining gull can be seen in the Aspang Automobile Museum in Aspang-Markt .
