Xenia

The Xenia was an American cyclecar designed by P. E. Hawkins and manufactured in 1914. The automobile was built with the odd combination of an epicyclic gearbox and belt final drive; it was powered by an 1164 cc v-twin Deluxe engine. This rare cyclecar was built in Xenia, Ohio in 1915. A tandem model, the passenger sits behind the driver. Cyclecars were lightweight and inexpensive but their narrow axles made driving uncomfortable on the mostly unpaved roads of the period.
