Goricke (Germany) - AllCarIndex

Goricke was a German automobile manufacturer that operated briefly in the early 20th century, specifically from 1907 to 1908. The company was based in Bielefeld and was known as Bielefelder Maschinen- und Eahrradfabrik, founded by August Goricke.

The company produced a light three-wheeled vehicle that exhibited characteristics reminiscent of motorcycles. Notably, the vehicle featured two rear wheels that were shaft-driven, which was a distinctive design choice for such a lightweight automobile. Additionally, it employed a steering mechanism that utilized a wheel, a feature that was relatively uncommon for vehicles in its class at the time.

Despite its innovative design, Goricke's production was short-lived, and the company ceased operations shortly after its inception. The vehicles produced by Goricke remain a part of the early automotive history in Germany, reflecting the transitional phase between motorcycles and automobiles during that era.
