(Redirected from Aurora)

Aurora of Ramsey, Isle of Man was a motorcycle produced from 1919 to 1920.

1919 It was built by Graham Oates from parts that were bought-in and assembled. The initial machine had a 318cc Dalm two-stroke engine and shortly after it was finished it took Graham Oates and his father to the top of Snaefell.

1920 Two machines were constructed for the TT, using a Juckes four-speed gearbox. One failed to start and the other retired. Two or three other machines were built, one with a 4hp Blackburne engine. The project was not successful and so it was discontinued.

1920 Produced the Wyme motor scooter with 2.75 h.p. single-cylinder two-stroke engine.
