The Royal Enfield quadricycle was among the first automotive vehicles to carry the Royal Enfield name. It was a bicycle modified by adding a wrap-around four-wheeled frame, retaining a rear rider-saddle with handlebars, with a front-mounted passenger seat and a rear-mounted De Dion engine. By 1899 the Redditch company was producing it in some numbers, and a tricycle followed it; the 1898 quadricycle is recorded with a De Dion-Bouton 2.75 hp engine. It came three years before the company built its first motorcycle in 1901, which used a 239 cc engine.
