DS Malterre

Founded in France in 1922, DS Malterre manufactured motorcycles. In 1955 they created their first 3-wheeler, a vehicle powered by a 125cc 2-cylinder Ydral engine that was llocated in the rear of the vehicle and drove the single rear wheel. Only a few prototype vehicles were built before the project was dropped in 1958.
