Aussi-also is an Australian historical brand of motorcycles.

De bedrijfsnaam was: Russell, Walsh & Hitchcock, later The Aussi Also Motors & Manufacturing Company Ltd, Melbourne, Victoria.

Russell, Walsh & amp; Before the First World War, Hitchcock produced fuel tanks, mudguards and other sheet metal parts for the Australian car and motor industry. Pure Australian brands, however, hardly existed; almost always it was for assembly companies who bought parts in Britain (engines very often in Belgium) and made cars and motorcycles. prototypes

In 1919 William and Isaac Walsh decided to build an entire Australian motorcycle. Their prototype got a self-designed 3½pk two stroke engine, but delivered too little carter compression, which kept its capacity to a minimum. They built at least two 7-9pk V-twins for races and publicity purposes. Also Also Motors & amp; Mfg. Co. Ltd.

In May 1920, they founded the Aussi Also Motors & amp; Manufacturing Company Ltd. on, which allowed a series production to start. In advertisements, the impression was that there was a large modern factory with many staff ready for the start. In fact, it was a small, old-fashioned tool with little tools. There was already a price list for different models:

Farmers and businesses could also use the motorcycle as a stationary engine because the rear wheel could be replaced by a flywheel for belt drive of machines.

The company claimed that there were 40 machines in June 1920 and 25 motorcycles could be delivered per month because there were 50 employees. In fact, the negative publicity about the failing prototype was partly the result of never serious production. It ended that William Marsh put the prototypes for sale and Isaac returned to the family farm in Kilmany.
