Summary
[edit]_Triumph_Model_%E2%80%9CH%E2%80%9D.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
Was designed in 1914. With 3-speed gearbox and belt final drive it soon became the favorite motorcycle of army despatch-riders in WW1 (1914-1918). The outbreak of World War I proved a boost for the company as production was switched to support the Allied war effort. More than 30,000 motorcycles - among them the Model H Roadster also known as the "Trusty Triumph," often cited as the first modern motorcycle - were supplied to the Allies. Bettmann and Schulte fell out after the war, with Schulte wishing to replace bicycle production with cars. Schulte left the company, but in the 1920s Triumph purchased the former Hillman car factory in Coventry and produced a saloon car in 1923 under the name of the Triumph Motor Company. Harry Ricardo produced an engine for their latest motorbike. |
