By 1898 they had begun to experiment with motorised vehicles and by 1899, had produced their first motorcycle. The motorcycles were hand built from components and finished carefully, Coventry-Eagle motorcycles proved reliable and by the First World War the range included Villiers Engineering and JAP engines.
In the early 1920s, Coventry-Eagle changed its models, depending on what engines were available. It swapped between five engine manufacturers: Villiers; JAP; Sturmey-Archer; Blackburne; and Matchless. The model Flying 8 bore a resemblance to the contemporary Brough Superior. During the depression of the 1930s, the company concentrated on producing two-strokes. Production continued until the start of the Second World War in 1939.
