Brown-Bicar

Brown-Bicar was a motorcycle produced from 1907 to 1913.

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 supersports machines.


  • Note: from 1905 until 1912, the machine was also known as the Midget Bicar.
