Description: During the late 19th century, bicycle companies were rapidly moving to motorize their bikes, while simultaneously designing new purpose built motorcycle designs. Instead of starting with bicycle production, Champion cyclist Louis Cottereau formed Motorcycles Cottereau in 1891 in Dijon, France. Most of Cottereau's motorcycles used Minerva engines, and were known for their precision construction and reliability. The firm was highly productive, adding bicycles and automobiles to their portfolio of products, but were bought out by a competitor in 1910.
