vehicles

On offer was an unusual model, which one source calls the Cyclecar . In principle, it was a motorcycle with a two-seater sidecar that was steered from the sidecar. A built-in engine from JAP with 8 HP power was connected via a chain to a three-speed gearbox from Chater-Lea . From there, the engine power was transferred to the individual rear wheel by means of another chain.

In 1918 the designer F. Hellens developed a newer version. Here the entire vehicle had a common chassis . There were plans to sell this model under the Hellenson brand after the First World War .
