William Lloyd's Cycles
William Lloyd's Cycles, of Freeman Street, Birmingham
1915 Built the Dreadnought motorcycle from 1915 to 1922 (also built the LMC motorcycle).
Like many other firms of that time, they adopted the two-stroke 269cc Villiers engine. With an Albion two-speed gearbox and belt final-drive, the specification was simple and lasted until well after the Great War. Although a single-speed version was available in 1921, the make had gone by 1922.
By 1940 W. A. Lloyd Cycles were making Dreadnought cycles
