Coventry Eagle were motorcycles produced between 1899 and 1940.

The company, based in Foleshill Road, Coventry, began by building bicycles and then tricycles, at the end of the Victorian era. Assembled from bought-in parts, these cycles were well-built and popular, which accounted for the success of the firm.

  • Edwardian era. The earliest range had included a model with an MMC engine hung from the downtube and by this time it had now increased to a range of singles in loop frames. Little detail is known of the company during this period.
