Vehicles
In 1900 Gurley launched a two-seater buggy with a single-cylinder engine, tubular frame, bicycle wheels and tiller steering, which Gurley built in his bicycle shop. Gurley thought that he could make a profit by selling them at $600, but had to raise the price to $1,000. Very few were made and Gurley ended manufacture in 1901.
