ÖWA Steirische Motorenwerke, Graz

ÖWA-HJULET AERIOLA, Regeringsgatan 5, Stockholm.

Manufactured in the 1920s under licence from the Austrian Motoren Werke Arsenal, the 83cc ÖWA Hillfsmotor was built in the 1920s. The Austrian factory apparently burned down early in the piece, and the remaining stock was bought by Aeriola of Stockholm. They did not buy the patent, however, and the machines were subsequently manufactured under the name Austro-Motorette.
