The company used the Bayard trade name (after the legendary horse of Renaud de Montauban) and manufactured the 1888 Henri-Pieper rifle, the Pieper M1893 carbine, the Bergmann–Bayard pistol and the Bayard 1908 pistol. The company also produced a small pistol with a tip-up barrel ("basculant") to facilitate loading. • Illustration — N. Pieper 1908 Model "basculant" pistol, 6.35mm, on display at the Cody Firearms Museum, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Cody, Wyoming.
• Illustration — Pieper petrol-electric car From 1897, the company also produced cars. In 1900, Henri Pieper introduced a hybrid vehicle with an electric motor/generator, batteries, and a small gasoline engine. It used the electric motor to charge its batteries at cruise speed and used both motors to accelerate or climb a hill. The Pieper factory was taken over by Impéria, after Pieper died. Auto-Mixte, also of Belgium, built vehicles from 1906 to 1912 under the Pieper patents. left
