1968 Raleigh Runabout with the fuel tank mounted above the rear wheel.
This moped has been authentically restored with a good degree of originality
Supplied with a current V5C
Raleigh, more famous for manufacturing bicycles, introduced their first moped in 1950s with an engine designed by Vincento Piatti—the designer of Mini-Motor. The company became part of the Tube Investments group of companies in 1960 and this brought the Raleigh, Norman, Phillips and Hercules brands of moped under the same ownership. The obvious course of action was to rationalise these four ranges into one common series and it was decided to license the Mobylette range of mopeds produced by Motobécane in France. A stop gap based on the Sachs-engined Nippy already being produced by Norman was sold in Ireland until the Mobylette-based models were in production. From then on, Raleigh, Phillips and Norman mopeds were effectively re-badged Mobylettes, while Raleigh first applied the 'Runabout' name to the RM6, which was built in various versions from May 1963 until February 1971 when production of all Raleigh mopeds ceased.

This well presented and authentically restored 1968 model looks to be the later RM6 version with the fuel tank mounted above the rear wheel. Not many of these pretty British mopeds have survived and certainly not in this condition. It comes supplied with acurrent V5C.

Beautifully restored 1967 Raleigh Wisp. Interesting and rare bit of kit and so retro it's a kind of cross between a pushbike and a moped that Raleigh produced just for a short time which has some early pre Chopper styling with the handlebars and front end. Raleigh fitted these with a classic French "Mobylette" 2 stroke ...
