The only model was a Einspurwagen and based on the Einspurauto of Mauser . It was a car on two wheels, one in the front, one in the back, and two side support wheels that were folded up while driving. The water-cooled single - cylinder engine had a displacement of 510 cm³ and made about 12 hp . The engine power was transmitted to the rear wheel via a chain. The transmission had three gears. The vehicle offered space for two people in a row.

A delivery van version was added in 1926 and a single-seater sports model was added in 1929.
