Mada Tricycles

A Brief History of the Marque

Mada Autino

Manufactured by Maschinenfabrik Danger in Säckingen from 1947 to 1949

The Mada Autino was a tricycle for disabled war veterans which had a single wheel at the rear. A 125cc JLO two-stroke engine was perched above the front axle with controls mounted on the handlebars.

A two-seater version with a 250cc engine, 3-speed gearbox and four wheels named the Mada Libelle was revealed in 1947, but this did not sell well and production ceased that same year.
