Bartoš

CZECHIA

time-calendar.png 1953

The Bartoš car, built by Ing. Bartoš from Ráztočno near Handlová, was inspired by the Anderle Dálník, a popular small vehicle concept at the time. This modest single-seater (or two-person) vehicle featured a Jawa 250 motorcycle engine mounted in a tubular frame at the rear. The body was made of steel sheet metal and housed a sliding cabin.

Steering was similar to that of a motorcycle, and the side wheels could be extended individually using a foot lever. Weighing only 160 kg, the vehicle could reach speeds of up to 90 km/h on 19-inch wheels, with a fuel consumption of approximately 3.5 liters per 100 km. Despite its simple design, the Bartoš car showcased efficient engineering and creative use of available materials.
