Ample power for solo or light sidecar work is provided by the 350 c.c. Broler engine fitted to the Spartan.
Broler was a motorcycle produced from 1920 to 1922.
The company of Brooks, Tasler and Cox was based in Narborough, Leicestershire.
Their slogan was: 'You will never tire a Broler'.
At the beginning of the 1920s they promoted a 349cc two-stroke engine, which formed the basis of their short-lived motorcycle. The engine was a three-port type but, for ease of running, it
featured ball-and-roller bearings throughout.
Broler motorcycles were also marketed as the Spartan and the Welland B.
The firm changed its name to Broler Motors and sold the engine
to other companies that assembled machines, including Campion, MPH, TEJ and Vasco. This kept them afloat for a while, until business dried up.

N.B. A post from a Narborough resident suggests that the works may have actually been in the neighboring village of Littlethorpe. This has been confirmed - see below.
