Sprite is a historical British make of motorcycle, built by Hipkin & Evans, Sprite Motor Cycles, Oldbury, and later by Sprite Developments Ltd., Halesowen, Worcester (1965–1971).
Sprite was an English manufacturer of trials and motocross (scrambles) machines that were mostly available in kit-form. They were built with 123, 244, and 405 cc two-stroke engines.
This Sprite is not to be confused with the much older British Spryt that was produced by Excelsior in Coventry.
