The
Ner-A-Car
was a type of feet forwards motorcycle designed by
Car
l
Nera
cher in 1918. It used an unusual steel-channel chassis, much like an automobile, and hub-center steering at the front wheel, making it 'nearly a car' in design. The Ner-A-Car was the most successfulhub-center steeringmotorcycle ever produced, with sales far eclipsing earlier or later examples of this design, such as the Yamaha
GTS
1000 or Bimota Tesi. About 10,000 Neracars were manufactured in the United States by the Ner-A-Car Corporation (under the Neracar name), while around 6,500 are believed to have been produced in England under licence by the Sheffield-Simplex company between 1921 and 1926 under the Ner-A-Car name.
