The Cyclone was a short-lived brand but made its mark by doing very well on the board track racing circuits of 1910s through the 1920s.

In 2025, a 1915 Cyclone Board Track Racer restored by Stephen Wright was sold for US$1,330,000 at auction.

All internal bearings were self-aligning rollers made by SKF, in an era when many motorcycle engines still used plain bushes on shafts.

The Cyclone was capable of over 100 mph top speed, although the engine lubrication was crude, and it was fragile over long-distance races of 100 miles or more that were popular on the board tracks of the era.

The Cyclone's demise came in 1917, when the Joerns Motor Co. determined that they could not compete with lower cost competition.
