The All-Velo was a short-lived Swedish automobile built by the Allmanna Velociped-Aktiebolaget of Landskrona from 1904 to 1906. The company began by importing bicycles, but soon decided to purchase unassembled Waltham Orient Buckboards from the United States. These they assembled and sold as All-Velos; all told, probably around 50 were assembled. Most parts other than the steering, axles, and engines were of wood. Each car had a single-cylinder air-cooled engine mounted at the rear, with friction drive. Brakes were fitted on the right rear wheel only, and the cars had tiller steering. ...more on Wikipedia about "All-Velo"

The car used a flat-twin engine; its top speed was about 45 km/h (28 mph). Some of the later engines had four cylinders. The gearbox was two-speed, and the whole engine was slid backwards under the frame to engage reverse. 35 cars were planned. Of these, 12 were built, and the rest were converted for use in railway inspection. ...more on Wikipedia about "Åtvidaberg (automobile)"
