Armac

The first generation of Armac motorcycles were built in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1902, and shifted to Chicago a few years later. The three horsepower single, designed by A.J. McCollum, sat very low in a loop frame. Armac offered inter-changeable belt or chain drive systems, with three ratios available for belt and six for chain.

The Armac was advertised as a "Perfectly Balanced" machine, and note was made that the engine was "placed is an upright position and in NOT a part of frame construction". The fuel and oil were carried in the frame. The Armac was also distinguished by the absence of any levers to adjust belt tension. A single twistgrip controlled both the spark and throttle.
