Crouch Motor Company

The Crouch Motor Company didn't stay long in the motorcycle business (1905-1908), but the belt-drive single earned a good reputation for economy and performance. The engine featured common bore and stroke dimensions and was rated at three horsepower. The Massachussets firm made its own carburetor, though a Schebier was offered as an option, and the large fuel tank had a capacity of two gallons, warranted to be good for 100 miles. The oil tank carried only one pint.

Crouch stayed with the forward-mounted engine and wooden rims for the duration. The 1.5-inch belt was controlled by an idler wheel. The Crouch, with battery and coil ignition, was competetively priced at $175.
