Ogar Motorcycles

A Brief History of the Marque

Founded by Jan Machek in 1910, the Ogar company produced accessories for the bicycle and automotive industries. Their first motorcycle appeared in 1934, a 250 cc with two-speed gearbox and bore and stroke of 68 x 68 mm.

In late 1935 the company introduced the Autfit OGAR-4, another 250cc machine but with four-speed transmission. 1938 saw the introduction of the 3-speed 250cc Elan. The engine on this model remained much the same as earlier versions, and it was housed in a square-section tubular frame with pressed- metal forks, Bosch electrics and an Amal carburettor. Plunger-style rear suspension was optional. Around 250 of these were produced, of which about 20 have survived.

• Ogar 250 (1937) - 247cc, 10 hp, 100 km/h max speed, weight 116 kg. An example of this machine is exhibited at the National Technical Museum in Kostelní, Prague (see Museums)

A Sachs-powered 125 was offered in early 1940 with foot-change and girder forks.

During the war the company quietly developed their designs and in 1946 their first post-war production model arrived using the same 250cc engine but with telescopic forks and better electrics. The same year they build a competition OHC model designed by Vincent Sklenar.

Following the nationalisation of the company by the Soviets, a Jawa-based model 350/12 was released.
