When it was released, the Centaur was claimed to be America’s only “full-size” folding scooter. It was marketed as a portable transportation solution that could be folded up in three steps and carried on a boat, plane, trailer, or car.
The two-stroke Clinton engine produced 5 horsepower, good for a top speed of 40 miles per hour, consumption of 100 miles per gallon, or carrying capacity of 400 pounds.

This example (VIN: 200047) is said to run well with only a few cosmetic issues – a crack in the floorboard, a hole in the seat, and a missing seat strap. What makes up for all of that is the luggage rack and the rare saddlebags which look to be in excellent shape.
