Comery Motors

Comery were motorcycles produced from 1923 to 1925.

They were the design of W. Comery who traded as Comery Motors of Vernon Road, Nottingham. He had been Chief Engineer at Raleigh - responsible for the successful spring-frame flat-twin that appeared post-Great War.

• 1923 Comery left Raleigh to go on his own. He produced a variety of lightweights with Villiers engines, Sturmey-Archer three-speed gearboxes and chain-cum-belt drive. The largest Villiers engine was considered capable of hauling a sidecar, so a complete outfit was included in the range.

• 1925 Details were announced of a a 439cc narrow-angle V two-stroke engine. It was fully detailed, complete with outline drawings, in the specialist press, but it never went into production.
