A Brief History of the Marque
Cloumobil
Manufactured by Alfred Karfunkel, Charlottenburg-Westend, Küsternallee 24. (or possibly Rüstern-Allee 24), 1906 to 1908.
There were two models - one was a tricycle which used an electric motor to drive the single front wheel. The top speed of the Elektrisches-Dreirad was claimed to be 25 km/h with a range of 80 to 90 km. The open body offered space for four people. The other model had a 4-cylinder petrol engine.
The company failed as a result of the economic slump of the period.
