Levis (motorcycle)

Levis built two-stroke machines from 1911, adding a line of four-strokes in 1928, which ran to 1941 when production ceased.

An enclosed chain from the crankshaft drove the Fellows magneto, and drive to the rear wheel was by Pedley 'Vee' belt.

Percy Hunt rode a 346 cc model successfully in races, and just before World War II, Bob Foster gained many wins on a Levis ohv 598 cc bike in trials and moto cross.

[4] Development of the Levis V6 Café Racer later started, which was firstly planned to use the 2.0 litre V10 engine from the Connaught Type D sports car (a company also acquired by BDI), although a V6 was later deemed more suitable.

Production was originally scheduled for 2018, with an initial batch of six bikes, priced at £52,000.
