[3][4] The driver stood on a platform with 10-inch tires and operated the machine using only the handlebars and steering column, pushing them forward to engage the clutch, using a lever on the handlebar to control the throttle, and pulling the handlebars and column back to disengage the clutch and apply the brake.

[1][2][3][4] After riding, the steering column would be folded onto the platform to store the scooter more easily.

[2][3] The bike came with a headlamp and tail lamp, a Klaxon horn, and a toolbox.

[5][6] An early description of the Autoped described it as having a hollow steering column that acted as the fuel tank.

[3] The Autoped went out of production in the United States in 1921, but was manufactured by Krupp in Germany from 1919 to 1922.
