Kynoch produced motorcycles from 1904 to 1913, in Witton, Birmingham.

  • 1904 They began with a model fitted with a 2.75hp engine and chain drive. They also built a couple of machines for Hayden, with fuel carried in the frame tubes. The machine also had rear suspension and was powered by a Simms engine.
  • For several years there was no more mention of Kynoch.
  • 1912 The firm re-appeared with a model fitted with a 3.5hp JAP or Precision engine, BSA two-speed gear or free-engine option, and Druid forks.
  • 1913 Only JAP engines were used, either a 4hp single or a 6hp twin, driving a Sturmey-Archer three-speed hub gear. The machine had belt final drive and the single was also listed with direct-belt drive.
