The two-cylinder engine came from the Spacke Machine & Tool Company . 88.9 mm bore and 93.218 mm stroke resulted in a displacement of 1157 cc . The engine output of 9 hp was transmitted to the rear axle via a two-speed gearbox and belt. The chassis had a wheelbase of 254 cm and a track width of 91 cm . The open body offered space for two people in a row.
