The most fun you can have on three wheels is in this 1969 Velorex 16/350 motorized three-wheeler, presented by MotoeXotica Classic Cars. This three-wheeler, made in the former Czechoslovakia, is an extremely rare sight in the United States. You can be fairly sure that you won’t see another one at a cruise night or a car show.
With its black and tan exterior, the painted fenders and canvas body panels, supported by steel tubing, are in good order. The car’s glass panels are in good shape but the headlights show some patina due to age. The vehicle has two wheels ahead of the driver and a single, centered wheel behind the driver. With its canvas panels removed, the three-wheeler resembles a rolling bird cage.
With its Jawa two-stroke, two-cylinder 350cc engine and a four-speed sequential manual transmission, the Velorex has a cruising speed of 37 miles per hour and a maximum speed of 53 mph. It weights 683 pounds unladen and has a maximum weight limit of 1,102 pounds. It’s 10 feel long, about 4.5 feet wide and four feet tall.
Inside, the matching black and tan bench seat provides a cozy place to sit with your favorite co-pilot as you navigate side streets and back roads together. The Velorex’s light weight, small size and open-air feel combine to make it a very fun vehicle in which to tool around.
Beginning in 1936, two brothers, František (1914 - 1954) and Mojmír (1924-2011) Stránský, the owners of a bicycle repair shop in the village of Parník near Česká Třebová, began the design of a small, cheap three-wheeled car, inspired by the Morgan Motor Company’s three-wheelers. In 1943, they built their first prototype using steel tubing wrapped by dural sheet metal and some bicycle parts (later these would be replaced by parts from motorcycles). They named the vehicle Oskar (“kára na ose,” or “car on axle”).
In 1945, the brothers built their first batch of cars, using leather cloth instead of sheet metal as the bodywork. Three vehicles were powered by 150cc ČZ motorcycle engines, three with six horsepower, 300cc PAL engines and six with 250cc Jawa units. The price was about a quarter of the cost of a typical car.
The post-war Czechoslovakian auto industry was unable to meet popular demand for vehicles, resulting in long waiting periods and quotas. Several models of small cars had been built either by amateurs or in small runs (e.g., Kreibich, TRIGA Tripolino and JAB).
In 1963, production of the newly designed “Model 16” started (fitted with either ČZ 175 or Jawa 350 type 572 engines); and the model was modernized again in 1968. In 1971, production of three-wheeled cars stopped and the company switched to production of a four-wheeler, the “Model 435-0”, which featured the Jawa 350 type 572 - 04 engine. Problems in design and manufacturing, as well as the inability to compete with higher-category cars (including the cheap Trabants), made the four-wheeler a commercial failure, and its production was stopped in 1973. Plans to produce a small car similar to Fiat 500 or a rickshaw-like truck did not materialize.
Spare parts for Velorex vehicles were first produced in the Solnice plant then in Rychnov nad Kněžnou after 1975. In the mid-1980s, India tried to obtain a license to produce the three-wheelers; the deal failed because the original tooling no longer existed.
As of 1996, 62.5 percent of the three-wheelers sold in the Czech Republic and Slovokia were still registered. As of 2006, the vehicle can be still seen occasionally and it has obtained cult-like status among its owners. Several Velorex clubs exist in the Czech Republic. Rallies are regularly organized in Boskovice (last in 2007) and in Lipnice nad Sázavou, inside the Lipnice Castle. Until 2000, only the motorcycle driving license (A) was required, afterwards the B1 license (car from age of 17).
This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 56,455 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title.

Странная мы страна, СССР! Что ни изготовим - над всем смеёмся! Обоссали Запорожец. Обосрали Волгу. Закидали грязью свои правительственные ЗиЛы. Про инвалидки вообще молчу...
А на Западе народ всё своё хвалит и восторгается на своим.
Вот ненадо пожалуйста. Довольне обычно тихие, им кричать нужды нет. За недовольными побежали - в этом беда.

The bra IS the body, wrapped around an iron tube frame, Saves weight, only 350ccm.... You can say: a HINDENBURG Zeppelin on wheels, without gas but with gasoline engine (2-stroke).
