vehicles

One vehicle was a tricycle. A self-made motor with 2 HP power was mounted in front of the seat. The open body offered space for two people. The maximum speed was given as 16 to 19 km / h. Messrs Doane and Thornburghe bought a vehicle. This was possibly the first car sold in California with a gasoline engine. The Horseless Age magazine reported on the vehicle in November 1895, saying it was made about a year and a half ago. This points to the spring of 1894.

It is not known whether other vehicles were made.
