vehicles

The only model was a high wheeler . With its large wheels, which by the way were solid rubber tires , it was well suited for the bad roads of the time. The water-cooled single-cylinder - two-stroke engine with 4 PS performance was unusual for such a vehicle. It drove the rear axle via a friction gear . The chassis had a wheelbase of 160 cm and was therefore noticeably short. The vehicle was almost as wide as it was long. The open structure as a runabout offered space for two people. The curb weight was around 204 kg.

The vehicle cost 300 new dollars . For comparison: Ford's cheapest car at the time, the Ford Model S , cost twice as much as a two-seater in the same year, but was more powerful and longer.
