Continuing the cyclemotor theme, here's a
Cyclemaster hanging from the roof.
And this one is a Mosquito
Back down on
the floor we find a Teagle.
The engine
isn't fitted but this is still unmistakably a Victoria
cyclemotor. The cycle behind it has a belt rim on its front
whell - that'll be for a Rex then.
A selection on Bantamoto engines and
fittings
This is
something a bit different: its the engine from a Dayton Motor
Bicycle and it dates from before the First World War.
Looking upwards again we see an
Excelsior Autobyk. This is the version with the
single-speed Spryt engine.
It looks a
lot like a Hercules (Sachs) M4 but it says "Honey 50" on the
side of this moped ... so that must be what it is.
One of
Motobécane's 'suitcase' MobyX mopeds, this one's an X7
More
engines. That's a Flandria one at the front and there are a
lot of Villiers flywheels to be seen.
Zündapp
Combinette.
Here is a
second example of a Cyclaid.
A BSA Winged Wheel and, next to it, the third
Cyclaid we've seen so far.
This is another of those 40cc Morini
motors.
A Viper - probably the worst production
cyclemotor in the World. Lets move on quickly.
That's much better - it's a Smith Motor
Wheel from immediately after World War One. Although the
Smith was a licence-built version of the Wall Auto Wheel it is
quite different from the Wall in many respects.
Now here's something much more familiar
- it's a Raleigh RM8 Automatic
Mark 2 ... or is it? It certainly looks just like one
apart from the colour ... and the Lucas healamp.
However, out here in New Zealand it wasn't sold under the Raleigh
brand - this is a Phillips Traveller.
It's called a Belmondo and it's powered by a
Zündapp engine.
The
legshields and deep valences on this NSU mark it as a Quickly L.
James Superlux autocycle
This splendid device started as a Francis
Barnett Powerbike 50 but has evolved over many years.
In particular, the replacement front forks and those magnificent
handlebars give it the look of a racing machine.
Let's see what else we can find in here.
