Autolette (Netherlands) - AllCarIndex

Autolette was a Dutch automobile manufacturer established by brothers Seymour and Daniil George in Rotterdam. The company originated from a firm founded in 1871 that initially focused on renting covets in the local harbors. By 1890, the brothers expanded their business to assemble bicycles and later motorcycles under the brand name ‘Eenhoom,’ which translates to ‘unicorn.’

In 1905, Autolette introduced a tricar, which was a motorcycle fitted with a third wheel. This vehicle was powered by a 4-horsepower single-cylinder air-cooled 2-stroke engine. The following year, the company expanded its offerings to include four-wheeled voiturettes equipped with 5-horsepower and 7-horsepower engines. Autolette produced a series of chain-driven cars featuring engines with outputs of 12, 16, or 24 horsepower. However, production ceased in 1907, and the company briefly imported Oldsmobile cars around 1903.
