Oh, wow, a very special kind of friction drive indeed...

Indeed! 2 propshafts! I don't know for sure but I imagine the crownwheel had teeth on either side. It looks as if it had 7 'gears' for forward and reverse.

I found few news about a car, built in Berlin-Wilmersdorf by Ing.Bischoff & M.Althoven, that's described as a cyclecar with Steudel engine and a "strange friction trasmission"; it was named Hagea-Moto, about 1922.
Is perhaps our car?

No, it's not our car. It is French.

The designer and builder of this car was also involved in the design of at least one aircraft.

Is it perhaps the Kiddy, 1921, built by Atelier Lecourbe, Paris?

At least one was made, we have a photo. The photo comes from a brochure so a production run was envisaged but I have yet to find evidence of any others.

The designer/builder/owner is pictured at the wheel.

This is "La Gazelle", built in 1912 by Monsieur Octave Poignard from Brinon-sur-Sauldre.

Fantastic Wendax! It is indeed 'La Gazelle' built by Octave Poignard.
I wonder if production exceeded one unit?
