Along with the Brogan a Broganette was also manufactured that was classed as a motor-scooter. It had handle bar steering and was powered by a 3hp engine producing speeds of around 35 - 40mph at 85 mpg.  By 1951 the Broganette had completely changed and was now more car like with 2 wheels at the front and a 10 ft long body.  The engine was also up rated to a 10hp Onan engine.
