Up until 1907 the Phanomen Company of Zittan (Germany) had been building just bicycles and motorcycles. In 1907 they produced their first 3-wheeler called the Phanomobil, this car was powered by a 880cc, vee-twin engine which was used until 1912 when it was upgraded to a four-cylinder, 1,536 cc engine. The Phanomobil was very economical and so as a result became very popular. It was produced up until 1927 when the company then just concentrated on its 4-wheelers that it had also been manufacturing since 1911
