Trimak
Manufactured in Madrid and later Barcelona, 1959 to 1974
The the firm produced commercial tricycles with enclosed cabins and typical microcar controls. These were powered by a LEW 250cc two-stroke engine which was closely based on the DKW design and had a differential sourced from the Fiat Topolino.
After Rondine failed in 1957, Trimak apparently took over their premises. Indications are that in 1958 Trimak produced motorcycles fitted with a 250cc engine which delivered up to 14 horsepower, and that this was a Rondine engine.

Triver
Construcciones Acorazadas, SA of Bilbao, who also built the Fraso 24cc diesel autocycle engine. Triver was better known for its microcars powered by a 334cc horizontally opposed two-stroke, of which some 75 were built from around 1953 to the early 1960s.
It is thought that when Rondine foundered, their ciclomotor was resurrected by Triver shortly thereafter.
