Aviette was a British cyclecar manufacturer active from 1914 to 1916, based in Hackney, London. The company, Hurlin & Co., produced one of the more primitive models of its time, characterized by its simplicity and affordability.
The Aviette featured a 4-horsepower single-cylinder JAP engine, which drove the vehicle through a chain to a variable pulley on the countershaft. The final drive was achieved via a single belt to the offside rear wheel. Steering was executed using a center pivot system, which was considered outdated by the time of production. The body of the Aviette was constructed from hickory slats and was available in both single-seater and two-seater configurations.
Affordability was a key aspect of the Aviette, with prices set at £55 for the single-seater and £65 for the two-seater. In addition to the Aviette, Hurlin & Co. also manufactured a larger vehicle known as the Hurlin Car and offered components for the home assembly of cyclecars.
