The following year at the Berlin auto show he displayed his trivoiturette, the Securus-Mobil which could be configured as a tandem two-seater or as a delivery vehicle, and a steering wheel was optional instead of handlebars.

Engines available were 4 CV and 5 CV, two speed gearbox, max speed 35 km/h.

On August 1, 1906, the company entered liquidation.
