The only model was created under a license from Brütsch . It was a tricycle with two wheels in the front and one wheel in the back. The vehicle had a lattice frame. Initially, a two-stroke engine from Victoria-Werke with a displacement of 193 cm³ was used. Later an engine with 250 cm³ displacement and 11.3 HP was used.
