The Birmingham Small Arms Company, or BSA, was established in 1861 to manufacture firearms. The motorcycle section of the company was born in 1903, and the first motorcycle under the BSA brand debuted in 1910. In World War II, BSA was the greatest provider of bikes to the Allies, and by the 1950s, it was one of the world's largest motorcycle manufacturers. However, due to insolvency in the 1970s, BSA halted operations.
Classic Legends Private Limited (CLPL), which purchased the BSA name in 2016, has already established a technical facility in Coventry, England, which serves as the BSA motorcycle research and development center. It is now working on a new BSA-branded electric motorbike. Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director, Auto & Farm Sectors, Mahindra & Mahindra, verified the story. Classic Legends is owned by the Mahindra Group."BSA is a hugely popular brand around the world, and that would be a key focus for building the global business for Classic Legends, and there will be an electric version of BSA as well," Jejurikar said in a press conference.
