Company history

In 1957, Szczecińska Fabryka Motocykli from Szczecin began producing automobiles that were marketed as Smyk . The designers were Messrs. Konczykowski, Ossowski, Sawicki, Sitnicki, Wójcicki, Zareba, Zgliczyński and Zygadlewicz. Production ended in 1959. A total of only 20 copies were made.

vehicles

The only model was a miniature car or cabin scooter . The vehicle had a single door on the front, comparable to the BMW Isetta . Access to the rear bench, which was intended for children, was only possible after the backrest of the front passenger seat was folded forward and the entire front passenger seat was folded to the left onto the driver's seat. The mobile was powered by a single - cylinder four - stroke engine in the rear, which delivered 15 to 16 hp from a 350 cm³ displacement . This engine was also installed in the same manufacturer's Junak motorcycles .
