Topic: #A147 by Amsterdam SOLVED: 1922/1923 Wolo built by Wolo-Fahrzeugwerk

[Amsterdam]

All I have is a ''name'' and the country where it was designed, and that it had some benefits at that time.
for one point.

Finally I can give a name to this picture!

[Amsterdam]

Meaning I have something you don't?
I never thought that day would come   and I doubt I have more info than you  


Let's see what happens.

Xperts?

German?

[Amsterdam]

Yes it is.

It is the Wolo single seater, built from 1922 to 1923 by the Wolo-Fahrzeugwerk in Berlin. It was designed by the engineer Mr. Woick. It was advertised a small, cheap and light, but powerful vehicle, for which you didn't need a driver's licence, no licence plates, no medical test and no need to pay taxes. It featured a single-cylinder Bekamo engine of 129 cc displacement and 3.5 hp. It measured 2800 x 970 x 950 mm, weighed 70 kg and was supposed to reach 45-50 km/h. It was available as a roadster or the pictured coupe.

That's amazing!!. that is indeed the story behind it. May I ask where you found the information?

[Wendax]

There is a very good book only about German threewheelers

Well done Wendax.

A friend of mine must have the same book then. I send me the picture with this info by E-mail.

[Wendax]

Well, this picture isn't in my book. There are two others. Unfortunately, I don't have a possibility to scan them.

[Amsterdam]

That's a pity. Maybe he got it from a old magazine then. I do not know.

At least it seems to have been constructed in Danzig/Gdansk, before it was built in Germany.

Here is the original and non-retouched 1924 puzzle photo:

The early versions apparently were engineless:
