Frankel (France) - AllCarIndex

Frankel was a French automobile manufacturer established in 1898, based in Paris. The company was known for producing early motor vehicles, including a notable single-seater tricycle that featured tiller steering and was powered by a horizontal single-cylinder engine with a capacity of 2 horsepower.

In addition to the tricycle, Frankel advertised two-seater models and quadricycles, with engine options reaching up to 3.5 horsepower. The pricing for these vehicles was approximately £80, which was considered competitive at the time. Reports indicated that the founder, M. Frankel, had received orders for over 100 tricycles, suggesting a degree of initial interest in the brand.

Despite the promise of large-scale production facilitated by established cycle manufacturers in both France and England, the company did not achieve significant commercial success, and little further information about Frankel's operations emerged after its early years.
