Editing Cyclecar (section)

== Demise ==
By the early 1920s, the days of the cyclecar were numbered. Mass producers, such as [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], were able to reduce their prices to undercut those of the usually small cyclecar makers. Similar affordable cars were offered in Europe, such as the [[Citroën Type C|Citroën 5CV]], [[Austin 7]] or [[Morris Cowley]].

The cyclecar boom was over. The majority of cyclecar manufacturers closed down. Some companies such as [[Chater-Lea]] survived by returning to the manufacture of motorcycles.

After the Second World War, small, economic cars were again in demand and a new set of manufacturers appeared. The cyclecar name did not reappear however, and the cars were called [[microcar]]s by enthusiasts and [[bubble car]]s by the general population.
