Briggs & Stratton
US, 1919 – 1924
Briggs & Stratton Co, Milwaukee, Wis.
To the comfort-loving American motorist, the cyclecar was a bad joke, and the Briggs & Stratton was one of the worst. The Briggs & Stratton buckboard of 1919 resembled nothing so much as a child’s soapbox racer, except that it had rather less bodywork. Two bucket seats sat on a frame with a pram wheel at each corner, while a fifth trailing wheel carried a single-cylinder air-cooled engine that also powered lawn-mowers. In the United States, rough country roads were highly unsatisfactory for the cyclecar which was even less of a commercial success in America than in Europe. Briggs & Stratton went on to make outboard motors, pumps and generators. An alternative name for the Briggs & Stratton buckboard was Red Bug, or Auto Red Bug, coined by the American Motor Vehicle Company of Lafayette, Ind., who originated the design in 1916, then sold the license to the A.O. Smith company of Milwaukee, who sold it to Briggs of Stratton in 1919. The names were continued by the Automobile Electric Service Co of Newark, N.J., who made petrol and electric models.
