The brand has nothing to do with the sewing machines of American Isaac Singer since Singer Motors Limited was founded in British Coventry in 1874 and started with the production of bicycles. Then motorcycles and cars were added to them – mostly small in size and at affordable prices. The real bestseller of the company was the Singer Roadster, produced from 1939 to 1955.
Meaning and History
In 1875, George Singer and his half-brother James Charles Stringer establish their own bicycle manufacturing firm, Singer and Co. In 1878 the brothers patent a bicycle of their own design.
In 1901 the bicycle company finally decides to enter the market of motor vehicles, for this purpose the patent for their invention is purchased from the firm Perks & Birch Motor. Edwin Perks and Frank Birch designed a motorcycle in 1899m, in which a single-cylinder 2-horsepower 222cc engine was installed in the wheel between aluminum spokes.
From 1905 the first Singer cars appeared. In 1911 the company’s own engines were introduced and fitted to a new model range that would last until the First World War.
