vehicles

All models were tricycles.

The first model from the period up to 1911 was called the Krautwurst system . It was based on a motorcycle . The single rear wheel was replaced by an axle. There was a bench for two people on it. This made the vehicle much longer than before. The handlebars would no longer have been reachable. Instead there was a long steering lever.

Vehicles that looked more like passenger cars followed in 1912 . The single wheel was still in front. The engine was mounted behind the front wheel and drove the rear axle. The engine output was either 2  hp , 6 hp or 6 to 7 hp. Another source mentions a V2 engine with 498 cm³ displacement and 7 hp. The open body with side body and one or two doors offered space for two people. Was steered with a steering wheel . In the Kaisertype version , the engine was fully clad, but only partially in the Sporttype . An illustration of the sports type shows the windshield and hood .
