English firm Humber built three-wheeled forecars and four-wheelers as well as the motorcycles which they manufactured from 1902 to 1930. Initially their machines were built under Phelon & Moore licence using a single cylinder P&M engine and two-speed chaindrive transmission, but later examples had their own engines of 496cc, 596cc and 746cc. These included sidevalve flat-twins which were built up until about 1924, subsequent machines having only single-cylinder 347cc engines with either sidevalve, ohv or overhead cam configuration. Competition success included a win in the 1911 Junior TT.
