Tandon Motorcycles

UK motorcycle manufacturer based in Watford, founded in 19471

Tandon Motorcycles were manufactured in Watford by Devdutt Tandon (1902–1980)—from 1947 to 1959—for export to his native India and other third world countries initially. The simplicity of the initial Tandon design reflected the chosen export market where the two-stroke engined motorcycles were to be sent CKD (Completely Knocked Down) for assembly abroad.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
