The first model was the Helicak , also written Helitjak . Innocenti supplied the chassis and the engine from the DL 150 with 150 cm³ displacement . Italindo completed the vehicles. The single wheel of the tricycle was in the back, the engine in front. The driver sat on a saddle above the engine. The cabin offered space for about two passengers and was mounted between the two front wheels. About 860 vehicles were made from this model. In 1987 these vehicles were banned and then many of them were scrapped.
The Super Helicak followed in the late 1970s . Reliant from England helped with the development. The chassis was similar to that of the Reliant Robin . The single wheel was in front. The closed body was made of steel . The driver sat in front, next to it there was space for another seat or luggage. In the back there was a bench for two or three people. Two-cylinder two - stroke engines with 125 cm³ displacement and 6 HP as well as 250 cm³ displacement and 12 HP power were available. Automatic transmission was standard. Several thousand vehicles were built from this model.
