In addition to bicycles, the company also produced motorized bicycles and tricycles; the latter were preferably needed as transport vehicles and provided with appropriate structures.

In 1970, a two-seater light vehicle was built . For the drive provided a two-stroke engine . The vehicle remained a prototype .
