Dunelt Motorcycles was a British motorcycle and bicycle manufacturer. Based in Sheffield, the business was founded by two steel makers and engineers, Dunford and Elliott (Dunelt is a combination of their names) of Sheffield in 1919. Their first motorcycle was an innovative supercharged 499 cc two-stroke single. The company specialised in good quality sidecars from 1926 and a Dunelt motorcycle was first to cross the desert from Cairo to Siwa and back in 1924. Dunelt also enjoyed racing success and won the Double Twelve Hour World Record at Brooklands with a Model K in 1928. Dunelt moved into commercial three-wheeled cars but these were not a success. A Dunelt moped was exhibited at the Earls Court show in 1956 but the company diversified into other areas of engineering in 1957.

dbo:abstract
  • Dunelt Motorcycles va ser un fabricant de motocicletes i bicicletes britànic amb seu a Sheffield i Birmingham. L'empresa va ser fundada el 1919 per dos fabricants d'acer de Sheffield, els enginyers Dunford i Elliott (Dunelt és una combinació dels seus cognoms). La seva primera motocicleta va ser una innovadora monocilíndrica de dos temps de 499 cc sobrealimentada. El 1924, una motocicleta Dunelt va ser la primera a travessar el desert des del Caire fins a Siwa (anar i tornar). L'empresa es va especialitzar en sidecars de bona qualitat des del 1926. Dunelt també va reeixir en les competicions i el 1928, una unitat del model K va aconseguir el rècord mundial per a dobles de dotze hores a Brooklands. Dunelt va passar després a la fabricació de vehicles comercials de tres rodes però no hi va tenir èxit. El 1956 es va exhibir a la fira d'Earls Court un ciclomotor Dunelt, però el 1957 la companyia es va diversificar cap a altres àrees de l'enginyeria. (ca)
