Burrows Cyclecar Company was an American automobile manufacturer based in Ripley, New York, that operated briefly from 1914 to 1915. The company specialized in producing cyclecars, a category of small, lightweight vehicles that were designed to be economical and efficient.
The Burrows cyclecar was powered by a 9-horsepower, 2-cylinder air-cooled Mack engine. It featured a friction transmission system and utilized long belts for final drive, which was characteristic of the cyclecar design of that era. The 1914 model was notable for its tandem seating arrangement, while the 1915 version adopted a side-by-side seating configuration. Despite these innovations and a price reduction from $375 to $295, the company struggled to achieve significant sales, leading to its eventual decline.
