Recorded originUnited States
ClassTwo-seat autorickshaw
Power10 hp
Autorickshaw developed particularly for Japan and the second final-range body. It retained the two-front/one-driven-rear-wheel architecture; passenger arrangement, roof, luggage provisions and export quantity are not securely preserved. Sources conflict on representative twin displacement (approximately 57 versus 72.2 cu in), so no single capacity is forced across the range.
