Beschreibung
This motorcycle is to be auctioned at The Autumn Stafford Sale - The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show
An ingenious design that originated on the Continent and was built in the UK by EMI, the Cyclemaster wheel - a single-cylinder, two-stroke engine complete with fuel tank, spoked into a heavy-duty rim - replaced the rear wheel of a pedal cycle, thus providing a cheap means of powered transport in the austere 1950s. Originally displacing 25. 7cc, the Cyclemaster was enlarged to 32. 6cc for 1952, gaining a small but useful power increase in the process. Cyclemaster progressed to offering complete machines and later on a conventional moped - the Cyclemate. Production of the Cyclemaster engine unit ceased in 1958 and that of the Cyclemate two years later. This Cyclemaster is attached to a Speedy Ladies Roadster Cycle. Documentation on file states that the engine had been recovered from scrap condition by an NACC member in 1995, and that the bicycle likewise had been restored from a rusty wreck. Presented in age-related condition, the machine is offered with photocopied invoices; an old-style V5; expired MoT (2001); photocopied Cyclemaster instruction book; and miscellaneous paperwork.
