Ariel Motors were a British manufacturer based in Bournbrook, Birmingham. The original company was established in 1870 by James Starley and William Hillman to make bicycles and in 1902 Ariel produced their first motorcycle. During W.W.II., the Ariel factory was turned over to military production and in 1944 the company was sold to BSA. The name was discontinued in 1970.
