The companies processed built-in motors from Minerva , Fafnir and MMC as well as motors manufactured in-house as early as the 1910s. The bikes were of reasonable quality. Displacement sizes between 350 cm³ and 800 cm³ were available. The brand first went out around 1925. In 1927 the brand name was revived in Abingdon King Dick (AKD).
