Description
Excelsior Motor Manufacturing & Supply Company was a U.S. motorcycle manufacturer operating in Chicago from 1907 to 1931. It was purchased by Ignaz Schwinn, proprietor of bicycle manufacturer Arnold, Schwinn & Co. in 1912.
The mainstay of Excelsior production through the 1910s and into the 1920s was the 61 cubic inches (1,000 cubic centimetres) Model BigX. Excelsior released its Super X model in 1925. In 1929, the stock market crash and the resulting Great Depression caused motorcycle sales to plummet.
