Borgo Sidecar on 1918 Reading Standard
Juwel Sidecar 1933 Luxus Sport

Burbury Sidecars and Sidecar Chassis. T. CADBY & SONS, Ltd., Birmingham.
Several sidecars were to be seen outside the building. Among these we may mention the Delta, now known as the Volta, which was described in detail in the issue of June 3rd, 1920.
Car Type Tyres.
One of these machines was shown fitted with a 750 x 135 mm. oversize Palmer cord tyre. The sidecar is best known for its luxuriously fitted and elaborately equipped projectile-shaped body. Such a tyre as that referred to is practically unwearable, and greatly increases the comfort of the passenger.
The Volta sidecar is sold by the Volta Sidecar and Accessories Co., 23, Westworth Road, Manor Park, London, E.12.
For those who fancy a two-seated sidecar the Art should be of special interest. It is manufactured by the Sandham Engineering Co., Ltd., and is sold by the Art Motor Cycle and Sidecar Co., 18, Walbrook, London, E.G. The body is most roomy, is provided with a comfortable hood and screen, and in future models the former will be designed to fasten down on to the latter, thus doing away with the necessity of straps. The body is hung on threequarter-elliptical car-type springs, while the sidecar wheel is on half-elliptical springs provided with long shackles which are hinged together. Strength for the side-car axle is obtained by having this composed of three tubes instead of one single one. A load of up, to forty stone may be carried.

Vodac Sidecars
Hello there!
I am a student for conservation of technological heritage. At the moment I am working on a cycle pulled trailer by the company "Vodac". I can't seem to find any information on this company, I only came across this name on your website referring to the welbikes. It seems to have been a company specialised on side cars or trailers. Do you perhaps have any information concerning "vodac" or know where I could look for it? I'd be very happy if so. I attached some photos. The database says the trailer was manufactured in 1952. Many thanks and greetings from Glasgow,
Eva Wentland

Images of the Vodak child's trailer are in the sidecar gallery.

Many obscure Czech sidecars are listed with photos on the Motorcycle
Club Praha web site.
Look under "Sidecars made in Bohemia" for the listing with photos.
They would be good items for your web site.

Troika
The Troika is designed and built by Heiner Heidenwang using components manufactured by EML, and the sidecars are available only as complete, finished outfits. In production since 1978, earlier models included the Troika SR 80/100 based on the aircooled boxer, with later machines using BMW R 1200 C twins.

Australian sidecar
Hawk or Hawke? 1930's
Believed to have used some Dusting mounts. Rear has hawk tail shape
Attached pics of the Hawke sidecar. Only story to come with it was
that it was used in 1939 for a honeymoon in South Australia. The
felt hub seal outer has GMH stamped into it.

Nowadays, a motorcycle sidecar might not arouse the same ecstasy as
it used to bikes in early days, but the latest vehicle by Francois
Knorreck is a sidecar with difference that gives an entirely new
definition to the sidecars. Dubbed "Snaefell," the 1000cc Laverda
motorcycle has three exhausts, and its sidecar offers a luxury ride
in comparison to regular sidecars. The designer has employed
different parts of a Kawasaki 1000RX and a number of
cars to accomplish the motorcycle sidecar, which took 10 years and
nearly 15,000 Euros to combine biking and luxury car ride in a
single vehicle.

Czech sidecars
CZ et al sidecars
You may wish to see an obscure Czech sidecar site:
www.volny.cz/sidecar.
Particularly see photos of CZ-Stpye.
Another web site of which you probably aware is: www.vorkriegs-seitenwagen.de
In the event that you are not familiar with this site, it lists some 45 plus prewar german and austrian sidecar manufacturers and includes photos and other data relating to some of the various makes.
Best wishes. Jonathan Hayt

Your excellent web site does not include certain European sidecars that you may wish to add:
Danish sidecars: Bender, Dania, Star, Sterling, Engstrom, and Nimbus. Your photos of Nimbus combiinations include ACAP and, I believe, a green Nimbus sidecar. Additionally, there are several photos of a red Nimbus motorcycle with a red sidecar that has vertical chrome or alloy trim strips and a blunt nose. That sidecar is not identified in the captions but it is a Dania..
Under Stoye sidecars, you may wish to add the following Stoye licensed products: CZ-Stoye (Czech), Haller-Stoye (Swiss) and Precision (Belgian And French).
Under DDR, the following: Falke/Falkensee, Gewo, MAW, HTH and Wunsche. There are others but, I think, for the moment that is enough so I'll stop here.
