NER-A-CAR

1925 NER-A-CAR 350 Model C

The NER-A-CAR has quite a clever name, being founded by Carl Neracher it was a symbol of his name, and of his dream to build a motorcycle that was as near a car as possible. The long and low NER-A-CAR was built first in Syracuse, New York and then later in Britain. It initially came with a 221cc two-stroke engine and later with a 350cc four-stroke single. Although it was a very practical bike, being very stable due to its innovative hub-centre steering, the Ner-a-Car was not commercially viable. It began production in 1921 at the astounding rate (likely not sustained) of 150 per day, and ended production in 1926.
