Globe was a British cyclecar brand produced by Tuke & Bell Ltd, a company based in Tottenham, London, from 1913 to 1916. The cyclecar was designed by J.H. Forster, who later created vehicles under his own name after World War I.

The initial model of the Globe featured an 8hp Aster single-cylinder engine, while subsequent versions utilized either an Anzani single or a J.A.P. V-twin engine. The vehicle employed a flat belt drive system connected to a 2-speed gearbox, which transmitted power via a chain to the offside rear wheel.

Globe cyclecars were marketed through various channels, including Harrods, a prominent department store, as well as the company's own office located in Manchester Square, London. The production of Globe ceased with the onset of World War I, marking the end of its brief but notable presence in the automotive industry.
