 The design was simple and ingenious, with a feeling nearly like an automatic transmission.Carl Neracher relied on a design from the 1911 Detroit Bi-Car Co. for the Neracar, and a license was granted by Bi-Car president John J. Chapin, as acknowledged on the Neracar chassis.The Neracar resembled the Bi-Car in outline, which was "an attempt to construct a two-wheel vehicle embracing many desirable features of the automobile".
