The purpose of cyclecars was to fill a gap in the market between the [[motorcycle]] and the car. It could accommodate only two passengers, often sitting in [[tandem]].<ref name="carhistory4u">{{cite web |url=http://www.carhistory4u.com/the-last-100-years/special-features/cyclecars |title= Special Features / Cyclecars |website=www.carhistory4u.com |access-date=13 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110622195417/http://www.carhistory4u.com/the-last-100-years/special-features/cyclecars |archive-date=22 June 2011 }}</ref> The demise of cyclecars was due to larger cars â such as the [[CitroĂ«n Type C 5HP|CitroĂ«n Type C]], [[Austin 7]] and [[Morris Cowley]] â becoming more affordable. Small, inexpensive vehicles reappeared after World War II, and were known as [[microcars]]. {{toclimit|limit=2}} {{clear right}} == Characteristics == [[File:Violet violette gaillon 1911.jpg|thumb|right|1911 Violette]] {{multiple image | width = 220 | align = right | direction = vertical | image1 = LaVigneCyclecar1914.jpg | caption1 = Advertisement for 1914 [[JPL (cyclecar)|La Vigne]] | image2 = Premier Cyclecar ad (1912).jpg | caption2 = Advertisement for 1912 Premier }} {{more citations needed section|date=December 2018}} Cyclecars were propelled by engines with a [[Single-cylinder engine|single cylinder]] or [[V-twin engine|V-twin]] configuration (or occasionally a [[inline-three engine|three]] or [[inline-four engine|four cylinder]] engine), which were often air-cooled.<ref name="american-automobiles.com">{{cite web |title=American Cyclecar Manufacturers |url=https://www.american-automobiles.com/Cyclecar-Manufacturers.html |website=www.american-automobiles.com |access-date=25 December 2018 |archive-date=18 June 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090618161553/https://www.american-automobiles.com/Cyclecar-Manufacturers.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Sometimes [[motorcycle]] engines were used, in which case the motorcycle gearbox was also used. All cyclecars were required to have clutches and variable gears.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} This requirement could be fulfilled by even the simplest devices such as provision for slipping the belt on the pulley to act as a clutch, and varying of the pulley diameter to change the gear ratio. Methods such as [[Belt (mechanical)|belt drive]] or [[chain drive]] were used to transmit power to the drive wheel(s),<ref name="autos.ca">{{cite web |title=Motoring memories - Cyclecars |url=http://autos.ca/articles/bv/cyclecars.htm |website=www.autos.ca |access-date=25 December 2018}}</ref> often to one wheel only, so that no [[differential (mechanical device)|differential]] was required.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} The bodies were lightweight and sometimes offered minimal weather protection or comfort features. The rise of cyclecars was a direct result of reduced taxation both for registration and annual licences of lightweight small-engined cars. On 14 December 1912, at a meeting of the Federation Internationale des Clubs Moto Cycliste, it was formally decided that there should be an international classification of cyclecars to be accepted by the United Kingdom, Canada, United States, France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Austria and Germany. As a result of this meeting, the following classes of cyclecars were defined: {| class="wikitable" |- ! Class !! Max. weight !! Max. [[displacement (engine)|displacement]] !! Min. tyre section |- | Large || {{convert|350|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} || {{convert|1100|cc|abbr=on}} || {{convert|60|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} |- | Small || {{convert|150|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} || {{convert|750|cc|abbr=on}} || {{convert|55|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} |} == Origins == From 1898 to 1910, automobile production quickly expanded. Light cars of that era were commonly known as [[voiturette]]s. The smaller cyclecars appeared around 1910 with a sales boom shortly before the outbreak of the First World War, with Temple Press launching ''The Cyclecar'' magazine on 27 November 1912 (later renamed ''The Light Car and Cyclecar''), and the formation of the Cyclecar Club (which later evolved into [[British Automobile Racing Club]]). From 1912, the Motor Cycle show at Olympia became the Motor Cycle and Cycle Car Show. The number of cyclecar manufacturers was less than a dozen in each of the UK and France in 1911, but by 1914, there were over 100 manufacturers in each country, as well as others in Germany, Austria and other European countries.<ref>The Light Car, C.F.Caunter. HMSO 1970 (first published 1958)</ref> By 1912, the A.C. Sociable was described as "one of the most popular cycle cars on the road, both for pleasure and for business",<ref>The Motor Cycle and Cycle Car Show, The Automotor magazine, 30 November 1912, p1448</ref> though another source states that the "Humberette" was the most popular of cycle cars at that time.<ref>The Car and British Society, Sean O'Connell, Manchester University Press, 1998, p17</ref> Many of the numerous makes were relatively short-lived, but several brands achieved greater longevity, including [[BĂ©dĂ©lia]] (1910â1925), [[GN (car)|GN]] (1910â1923) and [[Morgan Motor Company|Morgan]] (1910âpresent).<ref name="morgan3w.de">{{cite web |title=The Competitors in Trials and Races, the Rivals in Business |url=http://morgan3w.de/rivals/rivals.htm |website=www.morgan3w.de |access-date=25 December 2018}}</ref> == 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 [[CitroĂ«n Type C|CitroĂ«n 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. == Motor racing == Several motor racing events for cyclecars were run between 1913 and 1920. The first race dedicated to cyclecars was organised by the [[Automobile Club de France]] in 1913, followed by a Cyclecar GP at [[Le Mans]] in 1920. The [[Auto Cycle Union]] was to have introduced cycle car racing on the Isle of Man in September 1914, but the race was abandoned due to the onset of the war.<ref>"Current Chat", The Motor Cycle magazine, 3 September 1914, p300</ref> == List of cyclecars by country == <!--The list format: {{Div col|colwidth=12em}} * list elements {{Div col end}} simply allows the addition of new list elements, and fits no. of columns to screen & font size.
