The Raynal motorcycle brand, produced in England from about 1914 to 1922 and then from 1937 to around 1950, was known for its lightweight motorbikes and autocycles built in Birmingham. The name first appeared on simple two-stroke powered motorcycles built from Villiers and Precision components before World War I, with production continuing into the early 1920s. After a gap, the Raynal name was revived in 1937 on pedal-assisted Villiers-engined autocycles, becoming one of the early adopters of the popular 98cc autocycle format. These machines were simple, utilitarian, and suited to cost-conscious riders, and production continued through the late 1930s and post-World War II period, ending around 1950 as market conditions shifted and the company was absorbed into larger British cycle groups.
