No. Like I said, not a name you'd see on "cars" besides this one.

Nope. And the company was only active in the early '30s.

Nope, not quite that short-lived. But whatever list you found Suzy in probably has the right answer.

It's a pure guessing based on a country and years, as I can't find any background information about almost any motorcycle from the list which fits the criteria somehow...

But still...Magda?

Still not there, but close. Your guessing based on country & years should get you there soon.

Ninon? I've found a reference to Ninon models, and there were only two-wheelers as far as I can guess by the specs. Maybe it was incomplete, though...

OK, well, you'll get a point for finding the make.

Another point will be given to whoever finds the model name. It's out there on the web to be found, and it's a word that clearly evokes "3-wheeled vehicle."
