Eureka Motor Buggy Company was established in Beavertown, Pennsylvania, and operated from 1907 to 1909. The company produced high-wheel automobiles that featured a friction transmission and chain drive, distinguishing them from other vehicles of the era. The design of Eureka cars was more car-like compared to some contemporaries, incorporating a bonnet at the front.
The company utilized 2-stroke Speedwell engines, offering options of a 12/14 horsepower twin engine or a 15/18 horsepower three-cylinder engine. In 1908, local businessman Maxwell Kearns made a significant investment in the company, which led to a rebranding of the vehicles. By 1909, the cars were officially renamed Kearns, although some models continued to be marketed under the Eureka name until the end of that year.
