Hayden Motorcycles

Motorcycles produced in 1904 for F. Hayden of Cheltenham, by Kynochs of Birmingham.

A machine was built that used the frame as a fuel tank. The tubes were larger in diameter than normal, and the oil was carried in a reservoir by the bottom bracket. It had braced forks and a simple form of plunger rear suspension. It was fitted with a vertically mounted Simms 2¾ hp engine with magneto and FN carburettor. The drive to the rear wheel was by belt.

At least two examples of the machine were constructed.

Not to be confused with the motorcycles of A.H. Haden, also of Birmingham.
