EBS (Germany) - AllCarIndex

Ernest Bauermeister & Sohn, commonly referred to as EBS, was a German automobile manufacturer founded in 1924 in Berlin-Baumschulenweg. The company specialized in the production of three-wheeled vehicles, which were notable for their unique design that combined elements of motorcycles and automobiles.

The EBS vehicles featured a motorcycle front end, which included the engine and driver's saddle, while the rear was designed as a two-seater cabin. This configuration allowed for a compact and efficient vehicle that catered to the needs of urban transportation during its time. The drive was transmitted to the rear wheels via a chain to the gearbox and subsequently through a shaft.

EBS utilized single-cylinder engines with displacements of 200cc, 250cc, and 350cc, sourced from various manufacturers. This approach provided flexibility in engine choice and contributed to the brand's ability to produce lightweight and economical vehicles. The company operated during a period when three-wheeled vehicles were gaining popularity, but it eventually ceased operations, leaving behind a legacy of innovative design in the early automotive industry.
