The Economic was a British three-wheeled cyclecar made from 1919 to 1922 by Economic Motors of Wells Street, London, W1. It was, at £60, almost certainly the cheapest car on the British market at the time. The car had a single front wheel and no suspension, relying on the tyres and the flexibility of its ash frame to absorb road bumps. The two seater body was very simple with no windscreen or weather protection. The bodywork was minimal. A motorcycle using the same engine, also with friction drive, was also offered for £28 10 shillings.

- The Economic was a British three-wheeled cyclecar made from 1919 to 1922 by Economic Motors of Wells Street, London, W1. It was, at £60, almost certainly the cheapest car on the British market at the time. The car had a single front wheel and no suspension, relying on the tyres and the flexibility of its ash frame to absorb road bumps. The two seater body was very simple with no windscreen or weather protection. The bodywork was minimal. The 165 cc, air-cooled, flat twin two-stroke engine drove the right-hand rear wheel by chain, and a variable-speed friction drive transmission was used, giving two forwards speeds and reverse. A top speed of 30 mph was claimed. A motorcycle using the same engine, also with friction drive, was also offered for £28 10 shillings. (en)
- Economic is een historisch motorfietsmerk. De bedrijfsnaam was: Economic Motors, London. Economic bouwde 165cc-tweetakten met een boxermotor die bij de eerste modellen boven het achterwiel lag. Later kwam de motor op de normale plaats in het frame terecht, eerst als langsgeplaatste motor, later als dwarsgeplaatste motor ingebouwd. De productie duurde van 1921 tot 1923 en de productie-aantallen waren beperkt omdat Economic de motor niet zelf had ontwikkeld. Hij was bij het Amerikaanse leger tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog gebruikt om een generator aan te drijven en Economic gebruikte de restvoorraden die in Europa achter waren gebleven. (nl)
