Flagler Cyclecar Company was an American automobile manufacturer that operated briefly between 1914 and 1915. The company was initially based in Chicago, Illinois, before relocating to Cheboygan, Michigan, where it established its production facilities in a former pea-canning factory.
The first model produced by Flagler was a compact cyclecar powered by a 10/12 horsepower two-cylinder engine, featuring a friction transmission and belt drive. This early design emphasized simplicity and efficiency, catering to the growing demand for affordable transportation during the early 20th century. As the company evolved, it introduced a more powerful model equipped with an 18 horsepower four-cylinder Farmer engine and a shaft drive system.
Throughout its short existence, Flagler Cyclecar Company manufactured approximately 100 vehicles. Despite its limited production run, the company contributed to the diverse landscape of early American automotive innovation.
