Gorke (Germany) - AllCarIndex

Gorke was a German automobile manufacturer that operated briefly from 1921 to 1922. Founded by Fritz Gorke in Leipzig, the company specialized in the production of three-wheeled cyclecars.

The vehicles produced by Gorke were powered by an NSU motorcycle engine, which was notable for its compact design. The engine and transmission were mounted on the side of the car, utilizing a chain drive system that connected to one of the rear wheels. This design allowed the Gorke cyclecar to accommodate two to three passengers, making it a practical option for small groups.

Despite its innovative approach, Gorke's production was short-lived, and the company ceased operations shortly after its inception. The Gorke cyclecar remains a representation of early 20th-century automotive engineering in Germany.
