Introduced in 1947, the Motorette was manufactured by the Motorette Corp. of Buffalo, New York. The vehicles were primarily designed for use in a mile long aircraft plant but due to their practicality found many other useful roles. It was powered by a one-cylinder 4.1hp air-cooled engine that drove a single wheel that when fully laden would propel the vehicle at 39mph (though it did not have a speedometer) at up to 60 mpg.
