Jeaniel Sidcars

Jeaniel Sidecars

Established by Jean Claude Perrin in 1981, who sold the business in 1986 to establish the Side-Bike concern. Jeaniel closed up shop in 1988, but the designs continued to be built by the Walter sidecar company.

Most models were designed by Dominique Corrieras - these include the lightweight Cobra and the more expensive Lynx, the Condor, and the Captain I and II.

At the IFMA in 1986 the Jeaniel Lynx coupled to a Yamaha V-Max was very well received.
