This was one of motorcycling's first parallel twins, obviously the designer was concerned about overall width, the crankshaft had one throw with curiously cranked connecting rods to get the desired cylinder spacing. This would also make it an even-firing 360° engine. The engine had atmospheric intake valves and exhaust valves operated by a front mounted camshaft.
The Dutch-made Eysink was introduced in 1908.
