Of Moorfield Road, produced a number of prototype motorcycles in 1939. In April, details of the 'Chell Lightweight' appeared in the 'Motor Cycle and Cycle Trader' magazine. The machine, which sold for £25.10s., had a loop frame and was fitted with a 125c.c., or a 98c.c., two stroke Villiers engine, and had twin exhaust pipes, which terminated in tubular silencers.

There were pressed-steel front forks and a two gallon petrol tank. The machine had an 18watt electric light and was complete with air cleaner on the carburettor, a horn, number plates, central stand, licence holder, tyre inflator, a toolbox complete with tools, and Dunlop tyres. A Smith's lightweight speedometer could be fitted to the machine for an extra 35 shillings.
All of the models were powered by Villiers 2 stroke engines, but as World War 2 also started in 1939, the machines were never produced commercially.
