At first Ardie made motorcycles with its own 305cc and 348cc single cylinder two-stroke engines. Dietrich was killed in a racing accident in 1922, and the company was taken over by the Bendit company. In 1925 the company switched to using engines from JAP in London, England, that ranged from 246cc through 996cc. Their specifications included one of the earliest uses of aluminum-alloy frames on a mass-produced motorcycle. In the 1930s Ardie switched again to engines made by the German companies Bark, Kūchen and Sachs.
