Alexis (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

The Alexis was a British automobile brand active around 1905 to 1906, based in Alexandria, Dumbartonshire. The company, T. & R. Taig, produced a unique vehicle known as the wheel-steered tricar, which was available in two engine configurations: a 3.5 horsepower single-cylinder model and a 6 horsepower two-cylinder variant, referred to as the Motor Carette.

The Alexis Tricar featured a 2-speed gearbox, while the Motor Carette was equipped with a 3-speed gearbox, both utilizing chain final drive to the rear wheel. The vehicles were constructed with a combination of tubular and angle steel frames and were designed to accommodate two passengers, although the Motor Carette could be modified to seat three for an additional cost. In addition to automobiles, the company also advertised a 4 horsepower motor launch under the Alexis brand.
