Cyrus Mopeds & Motorcycles

Jacques Franssen founded the bicycle company in 1884 in Tegelen, later moving to Venlo. His sons joined the family business, and motorcycle production began in 1921.

In addition to their mopeds and motorcycles they built a variety of utility two- and three-wheelers. The Sachs-powered 1961 Bromcarrier moped had a large rack above the front wheel, and there were also three-wheel Bromcarriers the same year, with a large tray or box and two wheels at front.

They formed an association with Empo of Vorden in 1961, and business expanded. However, in 1970 the Empo company failed. Cyrus closed up the following year.

Cyrus and union correlation?
Hello from Greece im restoring my father Cyrus Super royal s-5 from the little research that I have done its an 1969 model , it has the third sachs engine version with the big alumunium fins , my fathers bike has only cyrus logos on it , but some bikes with the same design they don’t have the cyrus on them but they have the union holland logo on them , what it got me more confused is that the paperwork of the bike as a factory it says union , I know that union is a dutch bicycle company but im trying to figure out whats going on !!! I will appreciate any help!
Best regards Argiris!

Results of research will be incorporated in this page. Images of Cyrus S5 posted to comments.
