Brown-Bicar was a motorcycle produced from 1907 to 1913 by J. T. Brown.
Very few of these machines were either built or sold - even in the United States, where they were constructed under licence. This was undoubtedly due to the unusual feature, in the Edwardian era, of an enclosed engine. This feature did not become commonplace until the arrival of modern super-sports machines. The engines were rated at 3hp for the single and 5hp for the V-twin
- Note: from 1905 until 1912, the machine was also known as the Midget Bicar.
