New Courier
New Courier were motorcycles produced in 1899 and from 1919 to 1923, originally in Alexander Street, Wolverhampton.
At the end of the nineteenth century a bicycle maker briefly produced motorised tricycles with the name of New Courier.
The name appeared again after the end of World War I, when the manufacturers of the Olympic motorcycle produced low-cost alternative models. These were of medium weight with a variety of engine and gearbox combinations, as the frame layout had been specifically designed for a choice of specifications.
