Wooler (motorcycles)

The company became known for its unconventional designs which included several fore-and-aft twins, a vertical camshaft single cylinder machine, a transverse-four beam engine, and a transverse flat four.

Most machines possessed Wooler's enduring design features of a petrol tank which extended past the steering head.

The first production model was a 230 cc two-stroke with front and rear plunger spring suspension and a patent "anti-vibratory" frame.

Motorcycle production resumed in 1919 with a new and advanced machine which was entered in the 1921 Junior TT where it was nicknamed the "Flying Banana" by Graham Walker.

Wooler returned in 1945 with a prototype 500 cc transverse four shaft drive with an unusual beam type engine with the cylinders set one above the other like the Brough Superior Golden Dream.
