Steam motor cycle, made by Pearson and Cox, 1912. The arrangement of this motorcycle is similar to the Serpollet steam car, but it is simplified by the elimination of the condenser and much of the automatic mechanism. Henry Pearson and Percy Cox were apprentices at the General Engine and Boiler Company. From there, they began to experiment of a steam motor cycle. In 1912, they began to offer the steam motorcycle for sale to the public. These were produced for about two years when, in 1914, Cox disposed of his manufacturing rights to the Steam Cycle and Motor Company of St Michael’s Road, Croydon. From 1908 to 1916, the company was primarily involved in the design and production of steam cars and the motorcycle was only a sideline.
