History

In August of 1899 the Kensington Bicycle Company ceased bicycle production to begin automobile construction. In 1900, a small electric car was marketed that was joined by a steam runabout in 1901. In 1902 a two-cylinder gasoline automobile was introduced and produced into 1904. The company failed in 1904.
