Regal were motorcycles produced by Ernest Smith and Woodhouse from 1909 to 1915.

1913 Other models were added with 2.75 and 3.5hp Precision engines, with two or three speeds and belt or chain drive.
1913 A. H. Haden took over the Regal-Green business and began to use the water-cooled Green engines along with the others.

1915 Those models continued and were joined by a 225cc two-stroke Peco model and a V-twin. Production then ceased.
