Edmond was a British automobile manufacturer that operated briefly from 1920 to 1921. The company was a division of Shand Motor & Engineering Co. Ltd, located in Lee Green, London. Edmond specialized in the production of cyclecars, a category of small, lightweight vehicles that were popular in the early 20th century.
The Edmond cyclecar was powered by a 5/7 horsepower Coventry-Victor air-cooled flat-twin engine. It featured a 3-speed gearbox and shaft drive, which were notable for their time. The manufacturing facility that produced Edmond vehicles also produced the North Star, another brand associated with Sir J.F. Payne-Gallwey and Brown & Co. Ltd. This company had a diverse portfolio of automotive interests, which included other brands such as Carrow and Swallow.
Despite its short production run, Edmond contributed to the early automotive landscape in the United Kingdom during the post-World War I era.
