Archetype of the French cyclecars
Bédélia (in English usually written as Bedelia) was the archetype of the French cyclecars. This automobile was manufactured by the Bourbeau et Devaux Co. of Paris from 1910 to 1925 to a design by Robert Bourbeau. Rather than scaling down existing motor-car designs, Bourbeau chose to adapt mainly motor-cycle practice for his design, giving rise to the cyclecar designation.2 It ceased to exist in 1920.1 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
