Cleveland [7] (United States) - AllCarIndex

Cleveland Cyclecar Company was established in 1914 in Cleveland, Ohio. The company aimed to produce cyclecars, a lightweight and economical type of automobile that gained popularity in the early 20th century. It was promoted as "The Aristocrat of Cyclecars" and "The Peer of Cyclecars," reflecting its ambition to position itself as a premium option within this niche market.

The leadership of Cleveland Cyclecar Company included W.E. Burnes, who had prior experience with Garford and Steams, and designer Robert Clark, who had a background with notable British manufacturers such as Daimler and Humber. Clark's expertise was further complemented by his previous work in the United States with Columbia and Steams.

The Cleveland cyclecar featured a 16-horsepower four-cylinder engine, friction transmission, and belt final drive. Despite its promising design and the experience of its creators, the vehicle struggled to gain traction in the market. Priced at $395 for a two-seater roadster, the Cleveland cyclecar was short-lived, surviving less than a year before ceasing production.
