Ner-a-car B-series motor bicycle

Ner-a-car motor bicycle, 1925. Designed by the American designer Carl Neracher in 1918 and an example of attempts by motorcycle designers to give the motorcycle and motor-tricycle more car-like features. The name, a play on Neracher and the idea that the vehicle was �nearly a car�, underline this intention. It was known for its stability and protection from the road, debris and the weather, inviting riders to �Go As You Are on Your Ner-A-Car�. About 1,000 to 1500 were made every year between 1921 and 1926 and only about 50 (including this one) are known to still exist in England.
