The Morgan Car AG was a German manufacturer of small cars, which from 1924 to 1925 in Berlin was established. This company had no connection to the British Morgan Motor Company .
The two-seater Morgan roadster had four wheels, but in an unusual arrangement: There was a single, steered front wheel, a central axle with two wheels behind the backrests of the seats and a single rear wheel in the middle of the rear of the vehicle. This single rear wheel was driven by an air-cooled two - cylinder boxer engine with a displacement of 500 cm³ and an output of 12 hp (8.8 kW), which was installed directly behind the seats.
This “three-lane car” is considered to be inspired by the Mauser single-track car (1923–1925).
