The Yale motor­cycle was built by the Consolidated Manu­fact­uring Com­pany in Toledo, Ohio, after they acquired the rights to the Cali­fornia motor­cycle. George Wyman’s 50-day ride across the U.S. in 1903 on a Cali­fornia was the first such journey by any motor vehicle. The owners of the Cali­fornia Motor Com­pany thought it was a perfect time to sell out and made a deal with the Consolidated Manu­fact­uring Com­pany. There were copyright issues with the Cali­fornia name, so the brand name was changed to Yale-Cali­fornia. The first Yale was identical to the Cali­fornia, but in 1906, it revealed a much-improved design.
