The Ebo was produced by Edward Boulter of Leicester from 1911 to 1914 or possibly 1915.
This short-lived make listed two models late in 1911. One had a 3½ hp Precision engine and belt drive, the other a 4¼ hp Precision engine and P and M two-speed gear.
Tragatsch states that they also used JAP singles and twins.
Sir, - Enclosed you will find a photograph of a sidecar body, which I had made from my own design at the E.B.O. Motor Works, 285, Humberstone Road, Leicester. It is made to seat my wife and child so that the child faces the breeze. I have run it nearly a thousand miles, and find it a complete success, so have had the design registered (No. 599,507). The advantages I claim are a comfortable seat for the child facing the breeze and scenery, and if on a long journey the child can lean its head on mother's lap and sleep sheltered by the apron which covers both thoroughly. The weight is over the axle, and a well balanced car is the result. As I am always interested in anything new I see in your valuable paper, which I have never missed reading for over seven years, I thought it might be of interest to fellow readers.
