Can't get any simpler with body work.

 

Love all these photos. The teens and 20's must have been a really exciting era.

 

I say! Chocs away chaps! Tally Ho! Brrrrmmmm.......

 

Rear steering is terribly dangerous. LOL

 

Temperino

 

Are you sure that is a Bedelia? Doesn't look like any that I've seen.

1916 Bartsch Motorradwagen

 

You are right,,,,,it`s a Comet 1914-1915 with a H-D engine

 

Some adverts

 

Yes Europe was really excitting in that era.

 

You would think that there would be a come back with this sort of thing given all the environmental/ fuel costs issues.

 

I'd love to see more details of that "rotary engine".

Got that steampunk vibe. Lol!

 

Environmental issues are real but the mainstream response has been steered to a paradigm which serves to increase the prevailing capital investment threshold in manufacturing — even to the point of failing to address the environmental issues. Just about everything on this thread is 180° contrary to that paradigm, and therefore has to be outlawed.

 

Don't give up yet.

They lost me with the e word. It talks about combustion engine but doesn't give specs.

 

20bhp single, probably around 200-250cc, with boring CVT.

 

Thanks, I obviously missed that.

 

EV or gas we are loosing the fun of cars. Might as well take the bus.

I may have to eat my words. I kind of like this but I have always liked small cars.
