The Metro-Tyler company was the result of the Birmingham based Metro company, who had been producing motorcycles powered by a 269cc two stroke single of their own manufacture since 1912, being taken over by Tyler Apparatus Co of London in 1919.

For 1923 the company offered a number of variants including a fully enclosed model and a sports version with a two speed gearbox, kickstart and clutch which at 34 guineas was proclaimed in the catalogue as being "the cheapest and lightest 2 1/2hp Motor Cycle at present on the market".
