Recorded originGermany
ClassHistoric passenger and light commercial automobile
The original Hüttel-and-Sfetescu Cyklon transport tricycle built at Erlau before the developed Cyklonette name was introduced. The archival source groups 1.5-, 2- and 2.75-PS forms with 0.1–0.25-ton payloads but does not map each rating to a separately named chassis, so they remain power variants of one early product family rather than three invented model rows.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
No chassis ledger or dependable production total survives; documented commercial use by a Berlin department store from June 1902 proves operation but not volume.
