Werner Motors

But in 1897 they succeeded in creating a moto bicycle called the Motocyclette with the engine mounted on the front steering head that achieved some success.

[1] Werner was also the first or one of the first to produce a moto bicycle with a two-cylinder vertical twin engine in 1903 with a capacity of 500 cc.

[5] On 13 September 1902, Alfred Nipper of Prospect Place, Weston Super Mare, was riding his 1898 Werner Motorcycle on Bristol Road, Worle, Somerset when he was reported for the following offence as written on the summons.

The summons is now in the possession of Mr Nippers great nephew Laurie Hatchard of Kingsley Cheshire.

Alfred Nipper was a photographer, but he also assisted Marconi with his radio transmissions from Weston Super Mare.
