vehicles

The only model was called the Motorette . Although it was called a cycle car, it did not meet the criteria. A self-made four-cylinder engine with water cooling propelled the vehicles. 69.85 mm bore and 127 mm stroke resulted in 1947 cc displacement . This means that the capacity limit for cycle cars of 1100 cm³ has been significantly exceeded. The engine was specified with 12/15 hp . It drove the rear axle via a friction gear and two chains. The chassis had a wheelbase of 305 cm and a track width of 102 cm . A Roadster with two seats behind the other, which was drawn from the rear seat, cost 395 US dollars . There was also a version as a light commercial vehicle for $ 410.
