A Brief History of the Marque
53, Rue August Lacon Paris
Manufactured by Omnium Métallurgique et Industriel, 1921-1939
Maurice Chaise began his career with Rhone (later Gnome et Rhone) where he worked from 1907 to 1921
One of his engines was a narrow-angle 14° V-four, not dissimilar to the much later Lancia Fulvia. This engine was initially built to power the Majestic, and was eventually produced in capacities varying from 500cc to 750cc. It also powered another of the Delachanal marques, the Dollar.
Chaise engines were used by many motorcycle manufacturers including
Chaise Engines include:
The factory also produced a variety of horizontally-opposed fours for nautical and aviation use.
With the onset of war in 1939, production ceased.

Hi, I am trying to find out information about an old engine I have found in our barn. It's a chaise motor K, which I believe was made in the 1930's. They appeared to be made for the Dollar brand of motorbike. Can you help direct me to an owners club, or the best place to advertise the engine for sale. Thankyou

Chaise bicycle
I purchased this motor bicycle. I think it is pre 20's. I got the motor running but it seems to have a fouled plug. Where can I get another of these spark plugs? Any information would be a huge help. Thanks!

Chaise K2
Hi
I've got an old one cylinder Chaise standing on top of my bookshelter
at work. I got it from my father when he passed away many years ago and
it has followed me since. Now, could you bring some light into what it
is, what it was fitted into etc. I keep it at work because it's technical
value, integrated gearbox together with open flywheel a.s.o.
I would appreciate to hear from you
regards
Christer
P.S.
The type is "K2", Serie "8" and no "43950"
