A
Chinese-built version of the VéloSoleX.
Another Victoria cyclemotor -
this one is complete.
A
fan-cooled Puch moped ... an MS50V? ... something
like that ...
That looks like a Little Honda behind it; let's work our way
along this row of machines.
Yes, just
as we thought it's a Honda P50.
The
next machine in the line is a Mini-Motor.
But, again, the machine behind it attracts our attention.
What can that green shape be?
It was worth
moving a few machines to get a good look at it - it's a Miele
moped.
Behind the
Miele is a Mosquito cyclemotor.
Here's our
fourth Cyclaid of the day; this one is on a Humber bicycle.
The
cyclemotors are packed quite tightly together in his part of the
shed, so it may be difficult to get a good look at them.
Never mind, we'll do our best. This one is an ABG VAP4.
A
'racing' Mini-Motor with a megaphone exhaust!
It's difficult to see down there but the fuel
tank gives it away - this is a Vincent Firefly.
This Cairns
Mocyc is a bit easier to have a look at. The cycle it's
fitted to is a Rudge.
A Ducati Cucciolo. That's enough here -
let's go back where there's a bit more room to move.
One of Kelven's 'specials', this is a
Gomier tricycle that he's fitted an engine to. It goes
quite wel ... but the wheels start to complain if you attempt any
enthusiastic cornering.
Another
'special', this Moped taxi has a glass-fibre body and the power
unit from a Honda scooter. The bicycle wheels and the
minimal braking mean that it's best not to run the engine at
anything faster than a tick-over. Obviously, it's not meant
for serious use - Kelven uses it in Carnivals.
We're
well into our third page of New Zealand photos and we haven't
been anywhere other than Kelven's shed yet. We really must
tear ourselves away and visit some other places. But,
before we go, let's finish off with this BSA Beagle.
We're off to Wellington
